Many areas in the world are characterized by shallow soils underlain by weathered bedrock, but root-rock interactions and their implications for regolith weathering are poorly understood.
A large reinforced concrete structure supported on piles extending to bedrock is evaluated using a seismic soil structure interaction analysis.
The interaction of subsurface stormflow with bedrock storage directly influenced the measured hillslope response, solute transport and computed mean residence time.
An advanced non-linear dynamic finite element model has been used to simulate such sophisticated problem, considering the full seismic interaction between tunnel, surrounding soil and bedrock motion.
Dam foundation interaction is mainly related to the bedrock's flexibility, changes of physical properties of rock foundation, existence of joints and faults in it, geometry of dam body, water leakage, uplift pressure, etc.
Ideally, these experiments would include additional plant stressors (e.g., alterations in biogeochemical cycling, insect defoliation, fungal pathogens, shallow bedrock, and edaphic characteristics) to better understand potential drought interactions that lead to dieback and mortality.
Groundwater surface water interaction in rivers that flow directly on sedimentary bedrock surfaces with exposed fracture and conduit networks is generally based on alluvial river conceptual models.
We demonstrate how certain types of publicly available data allow a greater understanding of the interaction between human activity and natural superficial and bedrock geology.
However, there are some cases where the interaction of the groundwater heat pump installations with the evaporitic bedrock resulted in the total disablement of the exploitation system operation wells.
Incision is focused along a bedrock channel with a partial alluvial cover arranged into riffle-pool macrobedforms that reflect interactions between rock structure and large-flood hydraulics.
The present study investigates the effects of soil structure interaction (SSI) on the response of base-isolated multistory buildings founded on an elastic soil layer overlying rigid bedrock and subjected to a harmonic ground motion.
