Shrinking and swelling behaviour of expansive clays in response to water content change is a worldwide problem. It is one of the most usually geotechnical behaviour that causes a lot of damages to buildings. Expansive soils have the property to modify their volume when moisture changes in relation with temperature, precipitation and vegetation. The paper aimed to determine the shrink-swell behaviour of three different types of expansive clays from Australia, UK and Romania related to the vertical ground movement.

This paper aims to present the results of researches conducted in the Cândesti Plateau between 2009 and 2012 concerning the design and execution of the landscaping and irrigation works of green spaces. This kind of works was mandatory to be done in this area, having as final objective the improvement of the environment quality and the residents’ access to an enjoyable recreational space. As specific methods we used data collection in the geographical area, measuring and interpreting information regarding the climatic and pedagogical condition, soil geology, vegetation, hydrology, ground water and social conditions. To define the values of the irrigation elements we have used “the soil water balance method”. We have obtained results regarding the optimal landscape solution, the average values of the irrigation elements and technical elements of the irrigation systems. Therefore, during the planning, scheduling design and execution of the green areas landscaping and irrigation works, all crucial data must be considered in order to determine one or several best and legally, technically and economically-feasible solutions.

Data over 20 to 40 years showed historical decline in the mineral content of food and feed plant from USA and UK rising questions on the evolution of the environment quality and its implication on human and animal wellbeing. Although the “intensive varietal improvements of vegetable crops for high yield and improved nutritional quality are primary breeding objectives of various national and international programs little attention have been paid to below threshold concentrations of pollutants in soils, such as Cd, which may significantly influence the mineral concentrations in vegetable crops and pasture plants. Over the years the mineral status of pasture and feed crops were found to be insufficient for a balanced nutrition of farm animals and to support high yields of produces of animal origin. Therefore feed supplements are provided to farm animals,, however it is unclear how these practices support animal welfare and are generating a healthier food. A survey of the mineral status of foods of animal and plant origin marketed in the Bucharest areas, mineral status of milk produced in farms near Bucharest and pot experiments for lettuce plants( 2001-2003) were conducted between 2008 and 2012.The aim of the survey and experiments were to bring into light information on the mineral status of food for the population leaving in the Bucharest area and to better understand how the environment quality is influencing the mineral balance in food and the wellbeing of humans and animals.

In the last years, modified ash has been researched for a variety of agricultural and environmental applications. Modified ash can is used as soil conditioners, amendments, remediation agents in contaminated soils with heavy metal ions. In this paper, the different methods modification of ash with KOH was studied. Ash from thermal power plant and modified ash were used for removal of heavy metal ions from soil. The ash and the modified ash were characterized by microstructure (electronic microscopy SEM), chemical and mineralogical composition (EDAX, XRD diffraction, FTIR). According to the XRD results, it was proven that the form of modified ash was K-chabazite. The determination removal capacity of heavy metals ions from soil was performed by atomic absorption.

The work suggests the theoretical and practical experience of three international summer schools which propose to promote the new geomatics technologies, very useful for students and specialists, to solve many civil engineering works in many domains. A complete approachment of analytical and digital photogrammetric methods using CAD systems, combined with laser scanning and other non-destructive research techniques of remote sensing has the purpose of finding the best solution for surveying, inventorying, monitoring, restoration and conservation of space-objects. The benefit of combination of close-range photogrammetric methods with others geomatics and geophysics researches is that it provides a solid technical documentation of a space-object as a basis for technical rehabilitation or restoration planning, a total inventory, both quantitative and qualitative. In the framework of the photogrammetric complex process, the work refers to the computer representation techniques of space object obtained by photogrammetric methods for the processing of thematic data interpretation and their mathematical modeling. There are presented new 3D acquisition and processing procedure to map RGB, thermal IR and near infrared images (NIR). The combination and fusion of different data sources allows the generation of 3D thermal data useful for different purposes such as localization, visualization, and analysis of anomalies in contemporary architecture.

Efficient analysis and interpretation of satellite imagery can contribute to rapid mapping for disaster management. Earth observation capabilities from national, European and international community actors are used to respond to major disasters around the world, for humanitarian aid and security. Satellite derived information needs to be used in combination with additional data to be presented in a proper geospatial context for the work of civil protection agencies and relief organizations. When disasters happen, reliance is placed on any type of geoinformation that might be available in a short period of time. The paper presents the main goal to be achieved by implementing the project Platform for GeoInformation in Support of Disaster Management (GEODIM) under the frame of PCCA 2012 Programme, coordinated by the National Meteorological Administration of Romania, University of Agronomical Sciences and Veterinary Medicine being a partner. The GEODIM project is focused to develop a downstream emergency response service for contributing to current disaster and risk management approach based on Earth observation data. The service will enable socioeconomic benefits for Romania in terms of future decisions on disaster and risk management policies by providing decision makers with better, more complete, timely and reliable information.

The Drobotfor basin is situated in the eastern part of Tutova Colinas, in the Bacau County and it is tributary of Zeletin River. The watershed drains a land area of 87.61 sq. km and is characterized by an elongated shape on north-south direction. It has a length of 32.3 km with differences regarding height and relief fragmentation of each sector and a maximum width of 4.25 km in the inferior sector. The land is heavily degraded, especially by erosion. The high torrential degree in the basin denotes the possibility of concentration large amounts of water from rainfall with thunderstorm fallen character with great importance in the area of modelling of the relief. In this study, using a GISbased approach, the SCS-CN method has been applied to the Drobotfor watershed in order to peak runoff rates for a uniform rainfall. There have been taken into consideration the relevant spatial and hydrological characteristics.
