Avaliação do regime estacionário em colunas de amostras deformadas de solo sob saturação

Estudos sobre o movimento de solutos no solo freqüentemente são realizados em laboratório, sob condições aparentemente controladas. Uma revisão desses estudos mostrou, no entanto, que a variável tempo, para obtenção do regime estacionário tem sido freqüentemente negligenciada. Face ao exposto, o presente trabalho teve por objetivo registrar o tempo para que o fluxo da água no solo sob condições de saturação atinja o equilíbrio dinâmico, medindo-se a condutividade hidráulica saturada (K0) do solo. A condição de equilíbrio dinâmico é a etapa que antecede a aplicação do íon no solo em estudos de eluição de solutos. Utilizaram-se amostras deformadas de três solos com diferentes granulometrias: muito argilosa, média e arenosa, coletadas em área experimental da ESALQ/USP. As amostras foram acondicionadas em colunas de PVC, e utilizou-se água destilada e deaerada para saturação e posterior escoamento nas colunas, conforme montagem experimental do permeâmetro de carga constante. Pelos resultados, constatou-se que, nas amostras dos solos muito argiloso e médio, o equilíbrio dinâmico foi atingido após 15 dias de drenagem e, para o arenoso, após 27 dias, sendo a variabilidade de K0 maior nos primeiros seis dias depois de iniciado o ensaio. Essa situação evidenciou que a adoção de um tempo fixo para adição dos solutos pode levar a uma baixa confiabilidade nos resultados.

Introduction and summary Iowa Code § 8D.10 requires certain state agencies to prepare an annual report to the General Assembly certifying the identified savings associated with that state agency’s use of the Iowa Communications Network (ICN). This report covers estimated cost savings related to video conferencing via ICN for the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT).
