Hydrological properties
- aquiclude
- a geological substance that does not allow the
movement of liquid or gas - impermeable - aquifer
- a geological substance that allows the movement
of liquid of gas easily highly permeable - two end members of a continuous scale
- impermeable / impervious
- low permeability
- moderate permeability
- good permeability
20
Permeability in a porous rock
21
Permeability in a fractured rock
22
Focus in this course
- surface excavations tunnel construction
- dams and reservoirs
- slope stability
- construction materials
- rock quarry
- foundations for heavy constructions
- landfill
- water supply
