Rivers are Earth's arteries. Water, sediment and nutrients self-organize into diverse, dynamic channels as they journey from ...

The understanding of the structure of the spatial variability of soil surface hydraulic properties on steep slopes is important for modeling infiltration and runoff processes. The objective of this ...

Then coupled seepage-stress-damage software is used to simulate the initiation and propagation of hydraulic fractures in rock samples under the action of pore pressure gradient. Finally, the influence ...

The hydraulic excavator can travel in areas of up to 27º of slope, which represents an advance in forestry mechanization, however little is known about the quality of soil preparation performed by ...

Pore dimensions and pore-size distribution affect the amount of infiltration. The aim of this study is determination of the infiltration rate, saturated hydraulic conductivity and porosity changing in ...

Thus, the effective stress becomes zero for the soil with above values of G and e, when the hydraulic gradient ‘i’ is unity, i.e. head causing the flow is equal to the length of the specimen. If the ...

The upper-layer of a rock slope, which is above the water table, is unsaturated. Water entry into the shallow layer of a slope during the rainfall process changes the initial water content of the ...
