Th e complexity of water budgeting module as shown in this paper is represented in phases. By experimental measurement of precipitation and lysimetric measurement of percolation runoff the fi rst phase establishes monthly and annual soil-water budgets of skeletal and clayey soils, and hence the infl uence of soil water-retention potential on hydrologic cycle and water budget over a four year pe...

The dam of the reservoir Cuibul Vulturilor, located on Tutova river is an inhomogeneous earth with a maximum height 15.0 m, clayey central core and lateral prisms made clayey-dusty sands. For tracking evolution body seepage, 12 piezometers drainage pipe discharge in downstream connection channel bottom outlet are used. paper presents characteristic elements theoretical infiltration curve It als...

Clayey soils are the most common material used for water sealing and undertake an important role in controlling landfill-related pollution. Organic liquids can adversely affect the effectiveness of clay liners by drastically increasing their hydraulic conductivity. The aim of this study is to investigate and compare the permeability in two types of clay with different plasticity, exposed to the...

Offshore pipelines used for oil and gas transportation are often buried to avoid damage from fishing activities and to provide thermal insulation. Thermal expansion and contraction of the pipeline during operation can lead to lateral or upheaval buckling. A safe buried pipeline design must take into account a reliable evaluation of soil uplift resistance and pipe embedment depth. While the cost...
