Developing and Application of Software for Determining Parameters of Drainage on Designed Embankment

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate a software development process for estimation of drainage parameters and its concrete application in practice. It is necessary to use knowledge from the field of programming and mathematics to create the software, which can find its application in various conditions of earthworks as well as the landfills, earthen embankments, etc. With this paper is integrated a design process of the earthen embankment with drainage canals, process of program development for calculation of the parameters and dimensions of drainage canals and display the results of calculations. This process shows how it is possible to include discipline of the engineering design, information technology and the software engineering. Advantages of this approach are multiple efficiencies in process of the embankments and waste dump design and estimation of drainage parameters. This approach to problems in mining, civil engineering and geology, greatly facilitates and accelerates the process of decision making as well as offering multi-variant solutions.
