Scusate, ma mi dà un fastidio interiore avere due discussioni che si intersecano. Sposto quella sulle *piste ciclabili sui marciapiedi *in un altra e-mail, così non facciamo confusione con due discorsi diversi.
Grazie per l'appunto Carlo, non si finisce mai d'imparare. Purtroppo all'Università la pavimentazione stradale è stata trattata grossolanamente e sono carente in materia. Tratto da [1 <http://www.pavingexpert.com/setts01.htm>]: TerminologyCubes and setts, cobbles and cobblestones. The terms seem to be interchangeable, depending on your location. There's a whole range of regional terms, too, such as "Cassies" or "Nidgers" in Scotland, and "Belgian Block" in some strange places in southern England. The terms refer to blocks of natural stone, hewn from a quarry, in a range of sizes and rock types, and "cobbles" or "cobblestones" is also the name given to large, rounded beach pebbles 200-400mm in size, which are sometimes called 'Duckstones'. These rounded 'cobbles<http://www.pavingexpert.com/cobble01.htm>' are discussed on a separate page. The general public tend to refer to the gritstone 'Hovis Loaf' type as Cobbles, although the correct term is 'Setts' - these range from 100x100mm to 200x250mm in size, and have an average depth of 150-200mm.[image: sett dimensions]To be technically precise (ie: according to BS EN 1342:2001), a sett is a dressed block of stone having plan dimensions that are 50-300mm in length, and a thickness of at least 50mm. The length and/or width should not usually be greater than twice the thickness. However, some decorative setts for garden use may be only 25mm or so thick and 100x100mm or even larger, in plan. A cube has all three dimensions roughly equal. [image: cubes]Cubes: length ≈ width ≈ thicknessWhether they are cobbles, cubes, cassies or setts, they are excellent paving products and will last for many, many years; in fact, some of the stones currently covering the streets of Britain have seen over 200 years of continual use. Their pedigree as a paving unit goes back to the Romans, 2000 years ago, and beyond, and they are characteristic of most of the so-called 'historic' towns and cities of Britain and Ireland. They are fast becoming an essential ingredient in the nostalgia business, as the fashionable designers and developers fondly remember their long-lost days of childhood, sitting on a kerb-stone, twirling sun-softened pitch onto lolly sticks in the streets of post-war Britain. [image: setts in manchester] Setts at Castlefields, Manchester[image: cubes in chester] Cubes in Chester[image: cobbles in durham] Cobbles in Durham Sicché ad essere precisi avremmo: *surface=cobblestone* per le pietre arrotondate da 200-400 mm di dimensione; *surface=cube* per i bolognini e per i sampietrini (non credo possa essere d'interesse distinguere la pietra usata, ma non si sa mai); *surface=sett* per le pietre appiattite di forma parallelepipeda con larghezza (L) = 50-300 mm; altezza (H) = 50-150 mm e lunghezza (W) = 50-300 mm < 2*H Quindi l'uso che ho fatto io di *sett* è comunque sbagliato, perché nel mio caso si tratterebbe di *cube*.
