Mathematical Modeling of Hydrophysical Properties of Soils in Engineering and Reclamation Surveys

Abstract

All structures are built of, or through, or supported by earth materials including soil. Thus soil surveys in civil-engineering field are an important step in the construction. A lot of things depend on their results, especially the cost of construction, durability. The hydraulic conductivity needs one of the most laborious, and expensive surveys, thereby it is necessary to reduce these disadvantages. Were considered different methods (a laboratory, field and a mathematical model), and conclusions were drawn about economic feasibility of using the least laborious method. This method can be used under the various constructions, when engineering or reclamation surveys take place.
