Geomorphic signatures on brutsaert base flow recession analysis

Andrea Rinaldo, Marc Parlange, Enrico Bertuzzo, Steven Vincent Weijs, Raphaël Mutzner, Serena Ceola, Ludovico Nicotina, Nevena Tomasic

This paper addresses the signatures of catchment geomorphology on base flow recession curves. Its relevance relates to the implied predictability of base flow features, which are central to catchment-scale transport processes and to ecohydrological functio ...

Energy recovery in SUDS towards smart water grids: A case study

Anton Schleiss, Irene Almeida Samora

The development of a methodology for urban flood adaptation and energy recovery solutions is resting on the concept of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) as a measure to reduce risks of urban flooding while fully utilizing the available resources. F ...

The geomorphometry of endorheic drainage basins: implications for interpreting and modelling their evolution

Andrea Rinaldo, Jean-Marc Dorsaz

Endorheic basins are catchments with no hydrological connection with marine environments. They cover 20% of the Earth's surface, and are mostly located in arid regions. Their drainage networks converge to lakes, salt flats or alluvial plains, whose dynamic ...

Modelling the efficiency of a drainage gallery work for a large landslide with respect to hydrogeological heterogeneity

Laurent Tacher, Stéphane Commend, Boris Matti

This study describes transient hydrogeological and geomechanical models realized jointly in 2006 by the Geolep office (Géologie de l’Ecole Polytechnique) of the Polytechnical School of Lausanne (EPFL) and GeoMod SA within the framework of the stabilization ...

Parsimonious hydrological modelling in urban areas: Towards integrated modelling

David Andrew Barry, Luca Rossi, Sylvain Coutu, Dario Del Giudice

Most popular urban hydrological model used in research and engineering (e.g. MOUSE, SWMM, MUSIC,P8) are spatially distributed with linknode drainage network. If some of them (e.g. PURPS, RUNQUAL, SLAMM, StormTac and WBM) treat the catchment in a lumped fas ...

Spatially varied flow impact on resistance in corrugated pipes

Fereshteh Bagherimiyab Hunkeler

The roughness coefficient is a significant factor in hydraulic design process, but carries vast uncertainty in practice. This paper reports the resistance coefficients of corrugated PVC pipes under different flow regimes (i.e. pressurised, gradually varied ...

Metabolic principles of river basin organization

Andrea Rinaldo

The metabolism of a river basin is defined as the set of processes through which the basin maintains its structure and responds to its environment. Green (or biotic) metabolism is measured via transpiration and blue (or abiotic) metabolism through runoff. ...

Biocides in paints in urban areas: Modelling an underestimated source of environmental contamination

David Andrew Barry, Luca Rossi, Sylvain Coutu, Chiara Rota

Biocide contamination of receiving waters is generally linked with agriculture. However, recent studies have shown that urban contributions should be also considered. One of the suspected biocide sources in the urban environment is building paint. Biocides ...

Analytical and numerical analyses of the load-bearing capacity of retaining walls laterally supported at both ends

Aurelio Muttoni, Laurent Vulliet, Vincent Labiouse, Sylvain Plumey

This paper investigates the load-bearing capacity of a perfectly smooth retaining wall laterally supported at both ends assuming that the wall fails by the development of three plastic hinges. The study considers the case of a cohesionless elastic–perfectl ...

Numerical modeling and neural networks to identify constitutive parameters from in situ tests

Rafal Filip Obrzud

This study proposes a new advanced algorithm for determining material parameters based on in situ tests. In situ testing gives an opportunity to perform soil characterization in natural stress conditions on a representative soil mass. Most field techniques ...
