A wide variety of structural best management practices (BMPs) has been developed in the last few decades to control erosion-related problems at construction sites. Even though many BMPs exist to control erosion and sediment accumulation, there is very little research on their performance and this is even more pronounced when considering the performance ...

Finding explicit solutions to the partial differential equations governing the infiltration phenomenon tend to be a challenging issue. On account of such complexity, researchers have proposed algebraic equations to model this phenomenon. This paper deals with the solution of the general three-parameter infiltration equation, which is an implicit equatio...

The evolution of numerical modelling in rock mechanics has made possible a more realistic representation of the behaviour of rock masses, and a more reliable prediction of the response of rock engineering structures. Discontinuum modelling techniques, namely the discrete elemen...

This manuscript aims proposing a methodology for correlating soil porosity to the respective geological units using geostatistical analysis techniques, including interpolation data by kriging. The site studied was in Lorena municipality, Paraíba do Sul Valley, southeastern Brazil. Specifically all studies were carried out within an area of 12...
