Gravel and coarse sand make up significant portions of some environmentally important
sediments, but the hydraulic properties of the sediments are typically obtained in the …

Conglomeratic alluvial sediments (sand–gravel–cobbles) are common in fluvial, periglacial,
and tectonically active regions but have received little attention with respect to unsaturated …

Stony soils are distributed all over the world. The study of their characteristics has gained
importance lately due to their increasing use as agricultural soils. The effect that rock …

Moisture retention relationships for coarse, high-infiltration soils are difficult to empirically
determine and estimate. Present day software models for stormwater management (SWM) …

The mixing of different sized soil particles is known to affect soil properties such as density,
porosity, hydraulic conductivity, and soil water retention. To better understand how the …

Research has been carried out to evaluate the effects of rock fragments on the hydraulic
conductivity of soils; however, spatial relationships have not been established in analyses of …

Mine tailings are typically produced and transported at high water contents (solids content
less than 45%) and stored at the surface in tailings ponds. The geotechnical stability of the …

Heap leaching is essentially a process in which metals are extracted from mine ores with
lixiant. For a better understanding and modeling of this process, solute transport parameters …

Abstract Low Impact Development-Stormwater Management (LID-SWM) systems are
relatively new technologies that were developed in order to meet the water quality criteria …

Successful cover system design requires an accurate understanding of the hydraulic
properties of both the cover material and underlying mine waste. Mine waste and frequently …
