To determine the seepage parameters of surrounding rock during excavation of tunnels, a program of groundwater seepage (SEEP) was developed. Then finite element models are established in SEEP with the consideration of seepage equations for continuous medium, and the correctness was verified by the comparison of FLAC. Moreover, seepage back analysis program (SBAP) was developed in C++ language b...

UNLABELLED Marine methane seeps are globally distributed geologic features in which reduced fluids, including methane, are advected upward from the subsurface. As a result of alkalinity generation during sulfate-coupled methane oxidation, authigenic carbonates form slabs, nodules, and extensive pavements. These carbonates shape the landscape within methane seeps, persist long after methane flux...

An estimate of the energy of neutrino-induced muons in MACRO is provided by a multiple Coulomb scattering measurement. The MACRO original upward-muon data sample has been subdivided according to the reconstructed muon energy. The results are interpreted in terms of neutrino oscillation

6 [1] The role of groundwater in forming Martian valley networks is simulated in a 7 computer model as seepage erosion by contributing to surface runoff and as seepage 8 weathering by causing accelerated weathering of bedrock, which makes its subsequent 9 erosion and removal easier. Simulation results show that seepage erosion cannot mobilize 10 large grain size sediment and is marginally effec...

Seepage into drifts in unsaturated tuff is an important issue for the long-term performance of the proposed nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. Drifts in which waste packages will be emplaced are subject to degradation in the form of rockfall from the drift ceiling, induced by stress-relief, seismic, or thermal effects. The objective of this study is to calculate seepage rates, ...

Constructed wetlands positioned in the landscape between row crop agriculture and surface waters can be used to intercept tile drainage and serve as agricultural waste water detention basins. A potential exit pathway in constructed wetlands for detained water and possibly NO3 -N is via seepage through and under an earthen berm. The objective of this study was to determine if seepage was an impo...
