Dynamic Perspective on the Capillary Barrier Effect at the Interface of an Upper Fine Layer with a Lower Coarse Layer
The theoretical principles behind the determination of infiltration rate into a coarse layer overlain by a tight layer are reviewed. As a descending unsaturated wetting front hits the...
Stormwater Infiltration Design Based on Rainfall Statistics and Soil Hydraulics
When comparing stormwater infiltration with other methods for stormwater drainage an appropriate design procedure is necessary. The method proposed for future Danish guidelines is based...
Phosphorus and Nitrogen Removal Efficiencies of Infiltration Trenches
Stormwater Management Practices in New Jersey—Suggestions for Improvements
The State of New Jersey, due to large population density and intensive development, has become a frontier in regulating the stormwater runoff. This paper presents an overview of current...
Furrow Irrigation Education
A furrow irrigation simulation computer model based on the volume-balance method is described. The model is used to develop information on furrow system performance that can be used in...
BASIN 2.0 for the Design of Level-Basin Irrigation Systems
The purpose of this paper is to present a computer program for the hydraulic design of level-basin irrigation systems. The first of three design modes provides design based on the advance...
An Application of Nonhomogeneous Poisson Process in Sediment Infiltration Into Gravel Bed
The compound homogenous Poisson process (CNHPP) model (Shen & Todorovic, 1971 ) is found applicable in sediment infiltration into gravel bed due to the unsteady and nonuniform...
Real Time Forecast of Landfill Leachate Flow
A computer model was written to describe the generation of landfill leachate due to large precipitation events. The landfill is described as a multi-layer system, each layer having its...
Mitigation of Excessive Wastewater Infiltration/Inflow Effects for US Army Installations
Wastewater collection system on military installations require periodic maintenance and repair, and occasionally upgrading. Deterioration of wastewater systems enables the entry of extraneous...
Strontium Isotope Geochemistry of Calcite Fracture Fillings in Deep Core, Yucca Mountain, Nevada—A Progress Report
Model and Calculations for Net Infiltration
Constitutive Modeling of Slurry Infiltrated Fiber Concrete (SIFCON)
Slurry Infiltrated Fiber CONcrete (SIFCON) is a unique material, containing 5 to 18 percent, by volume, of steel fibers; in contrast, standard Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC) usually contains...
Modeling Bond Stress-Slip of Reinforcing Bars Embedded in SIFCON
A brief description is given of the mechanisms associated with the bond shear stress versus slip response of deformed reinforcing bars embedded in slurry infiltrated fiber concrete (SIFCON)....
Expert System for Wastewater Collection System Infiltration and Inflow Mitigation
Combustion Synthesis of Advanced Materials
The combustion synthesis of ceramic-metal composites using an in-situ liquid infiltration technique is described. The effect of varying the reactants and their stoichiometry to provide...
Commuter Infiltration, The Unaddressed Issue
Traffic Impact Reports usually assign project-related traffic only to the adjacent collector and arterial highways. Usually the reports do not attempt to address possible commuter infiltration...
Predicting Effects of Subsidence on Landfill Caps
Groundwater protection at unlined, closed landfills relies upon limiting cover or cap infiltration. Depressions on closed landfills indicate infiltration from reduced runoff and loss of...
Stochastic Analysis of Seasonal Hydraulic Conductivity
Infiltration data collected by a ring infiltrometer tests, for summer, fall, and spring seasons, were used to determine hydraulic conductivity using Philip's two-term infiltration equation....
Ongoing Monitoring Results Pilot Stormwater Disposal Facilities, Pierce County, Washington
The three stormwater disposal facilities evaluated appeared to increase in pollutant removal effectiveness after approximately 4 to 5 months of operation. This may be due to the deposition...
A Wetlands Sewage Treatment System for the Community of Teslin
The Village of Teslin, with a population of 450, is located in south-central Yukon, approximately 180 km southeast of Whitehorse. Since 1977, the community has been trucking its sewage...
