We present an integrated hydrology/water operations simulation model of the Tuolumne and Merced River Basins, California, using the Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) platform. The model represents hydrology as well as water operations, which together influence water supplied for agricultural, urban, and environmental uses. The model is developed for impacts assessment using scenarios for cli...

This work studies the impact of estimating soil wave number in Underground Focused SAR imaging for tunnel detection applications. It is demonstrated that neglecting wave refraction at the ground surface results in poor underground imaging; however, by considering refraction with inexact, yet sufficiently high, estimates of soil dielectric constant, clear target images can be produced. In additi...

Abstract In the region of karst, there are valley areas that used by community as agricultural land. However, drought phenomena often occur in this area, so it is necessary to know presence water support processes. The aim research predict flow rates several systems using Soil and Water Assessment Tools (SWAT). SWAT was chosen because can simulate model with easy-to-obtain data. Required data s...

The evaluation and control of the trains induced vibrations needs even more attention in the case of underground tracks which passes near to monuments and historical sites. The rail corrugations which occur due to the wheels’ impulse loads during the operation period of underground railway tracks, usually amplify the ground borne noise and vibration. In the current study, the mentioned phenomen...

In this study, the seismic interaction of surface foundations and underground cavities was investigated. For this purpose, a parametric study of geometric dimensions of the foundation and cavity, their location, and the effect of the interaction between surface foundations and underground cavities was evaluated. The variable parameters include the ratio of the overburden height to the foundatio...

Author: Pedro Luis Kantek Garcia Navarro Affiliation: CELEPAR Title: AN EVOLUTIONARY APPROACH IN MAGNETOTELLURIC INVERSION Text: Magnetotelluric inversion is the reconstitution of the pattern of underground geolectric conductivities out of an incomplete and noisy set of measurements of the electromagnetic field at various points of the surface, and at various frequencies. In the forward problem...

The reconfigurable vibrating screen (RVS) machine is an innovative beneficiation machine designed for screening different mineral particles of varying sizes and volumes required by the customers’ through the geometric transformation of its screen structure. The successful RVS machine upkeep requires its continuous, availability, reliability and maintainability. The RVS machine downtime, which c...
