ON ASSESSMENT OF DILAPIDATION IN ELASTO-PLASTIC ELEMENTS OF BUILDINGS by S. N. Osipov, D. A. Pozdniakov

“…The method is realized in accordance with the criteria of the maximum linear deformations and with due account of reduction in elasticity module value when material creeping occurs. The method is directed on practical assessment of dynamics pertaining to the values of  rejection probability or destruction of building elements in the process of its operation during the period of its life cycle.In order to assess dilapidation in elasto-plastic elements of buildings it is necessary to make measurements of deformation growth according to external features, determine average deformation at the beginning of building operation and in specified period of time, threshold limit values of complete relative deformation that characterizes maximum allowable element dilapidation with account of plasticity. …”

Land drainage functioning and hydrological impacts in rural catchments: model development and field experiments by Zimmer, Daniel, Tournebize, Julien, Bouarfa, Sami, Kao, Cyril, Lesaffre, Benoît

“…Theoretical developments of this equation demonstrate that a single parameter ($\sigma $)—a combination of soil and drainage system properties—is sufficient for predicting the dynamics of subsurface drain flow rates. We also demonstrate that these drain flow rates are a function of the level of water replenishment in the system (classically the water table elevation), of the recharge intensity of the aquifer and of a buffer function related to the swelling or deflation of the water table shape during recharge events. …”
