Abstract:
      Four kinds of rock fragment content and five kinds of particle size were chosen and pure soil was used as control, and 20 groups of one dimensional vertical ponding infiltration experiments and 20 groups of measured saturated hydraulic conductivity experiments were conducted to analyze the effect of rock fragment content on water movement parameters of stony-soil media and the applicability of water movement model. The major findings are as follows: some parameters in Green-Ampt formula, Philip formula and one dimensional vertical algebraic model decrease with the increase of rock fragment content at first, and then increase, and decrease again at last. The applicability of the model is different from rock fragment particle size. When the particle size is between 0.5~3 cm, one dimensional vertical algebraic model could describe with relative accuracy of the saturated hydraulic conductivity of stony-soil media, and the saturated hydraulic conductivity of stony-soil media described by Green-Ampt formula has higher precision when the particle size is 3~5 cm.
