Modeling of Hydrophysical Properties of the Soil as Capillary-Porous Media and Improvement of Mualem-Van Genuchten Method as a Part of Foundation Arrangement Research

Within the concepts about the capillarity and the lognormal distribution of effective pore radii, a theoretical justification for function of differential water capacity and its antiderivative (function of water-retention capacity in form of a dependence of the soil volumetric water content on capillary pressure of the soil moisture) is presented. Using these functions, the ratio of soil hydraulic conductivity function to the filter coefficient is calculated. Approximations to functions describing the water-retention capacity and relative hydraulic conductivity of the soil have been suggested. Parameters of these functions have been interpreted and estimated with applying the physical and statistical indices of the soil.

Redevelopment Project of Shuvalovsky Park

The paper presents the results of work dedicated to the problem of redevelopment historical parks, as well as attracting the attention of investors to the problem of reconstruction and creation of a modern urban park with necessary infrastructure. The current state of the park were examined and proposed zoning of the territory with the historical component. In the project used visual, graphical and analytical methods obtaining and processing information.
