WPŁYW TRANSFORMACJI LESSU NA CECHY FILTRACYJNE

Abstract

THE IMPACT OF LOESS TRANSFORMATION ON ITS FILTRATION CHARACTERISTICSAbstract. The quantitative characteristics have been analysed and the analysis of the degree of the pore space structure (fractal dimension) of natural and transformed loesses has been conducted. The relation between poor water permeability and retention in closed depressions has been prooved and thus the consequences of that for microstructural characteristics of loess has been revealed. Closed depression has been identified as the areas of preferential filtration in loess areas.
