French

Domaine(s)
  • Matériaux de construction

Record 4 2011-06-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
  • Geology
DEF

Gravel envelope surrounding perforated casing in a well.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Hydrologie et hydrographie
  • Géologie
DEF

Matériau meuble formé d’éléments calibrés(graviers, granulats), disposé dans l'espace annulaire compris entre le tubage et les parois d’un puits pour empêcher l'érosion souterraine et prévenir le colmatage et la réduction conséquente de l'efficacité du puits.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Hidrología e hidrografía
  • Geología
DEF

[Conjunto de] material poroso, clasificado en tamaños, que se introduce en el espacio anular entre la columna de revestimiento y la pared del pozo de sondeo.

CONT

El engravillado es necesario cuando se trata de acuíferos en arenas finas y uniformes o en materiales incoherentes. En estos acuíferos no es suficiente la colocación de una rejilla o tubería de puentecillo para el correcto funcionamiento del pozo, sino que se hace necesario también colocar un relleno de gravas, “tipo garbancillo”, en el espacio anular que queda entre la pared del terreno perforado y la tubería de revestimiento.

OBS

A veces se instala alrededor de los conductos de drenaje.

Record 5 2011-05-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Metals Mining
  • Petrography
CONT

It has been accepted for many years that quartz lenses and veins in metamorphic rocks commonly result from the infilling of dilatational zones and open fractures by silica which has migrated out of the enclosing rocks, and that this silica may be accompanied by other constituents of the wall rocks including metallic components and sulphur.

CONT

Infillings of mineralized breccia are particularly common, a good example being the copper-bearing breccia pipes of Messina in South Africa.

OBS

The term "infilling" may be used for any type of mineral material.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mines métalliques
  • Pétrographie
DEF

Remplissage des fissures d’une roche par apports détritiques.

OBS

Le terme «colmatage» s’applique à un matériau détritique.

Record 6 2010-05-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Strength of Materials
  • Sewers and Drainage
  • Soil Mechanics (Engineering)
CONT

The mineral clogging mechanism. Due to the drag force of the water at the interface between the soil and a drain pipe, soil particles may be carried into the pipe via its slots. This process can never be prevented completely, but can be counter-acted by installing an envelope material, often a geotextile, around the drain. Generally, two types of mineral clogging can be detected which are referred to as primary and secondary mineral clogging. Primary clogging is a consequence of the sudden drastic changes in the soil/water boundary conditions, caused by the installation of the subsurface drainage system, and the resulting water flow, including particle transport due to the high hydraulic gradients, towards the newly installed pipes. Secondary clogging is defined as particle transport into filters and/or pipes, in the long term; ...

French

Domaine(s)
  • Résistance des matériaux
  • Égouts et drainage
  • Mécanique des sols
OBS

colmatage : Accumulation des fines particules du sol entraînées par l'eau dans les pores d’un matériau drainant, naturel ou artificiel, le rendant progressivement incapable d’assurer sa fonction.

OBS

D’une manière générale, la stricte application des critères de filtration définis par les divers organismes nationaux prend en compte les effets à long terme du colmatage minéral et donc limite les risques de non-fonctionnement des réseaux de drainage.
