Abstract This study examined the spatiotemporal variability in geotechnical properties of beach cusp sediments on a sandy beach and tested if such variability can be used for cusp monitoring from satellite imagery. Specifically, sediment properties (including moisture content (w), relative density (Dr), sediment strength (QSBC) and friction angle (ϕ ...

Long‐term data (1930–2022) from the Shirasaka Experimental Watershed revealed that evapotranspiration did not consistently increase throughout the 20th century, despite significant recovery of forests and soils following historical anthropogenic degradation.

A Case Study on Distresses of Concrete Pavements Supported on a Retaining Wall
Embankments and retaining walls are integral parts of the bridge system and provide a smooth transition from lower elevations (i.e., roadways) to higher elevations (i.e., bridge decks).

ABSTRACT This study presents large deformation computational methods to simulate lateral vehicular impacts on steel piles in granular soil. Soil‐mounted longitudinal barrier systems rely on energy dissipation in both the piles and the surrounding soil to safely redirect errant vehicles, so dynamic pile‐soil interaction is important for design ...

ABSTRACT Agricultural management produces soil compaction depending on intensity of use, specific management and soil properties. We used an adapted, home‐built dynamic penetrometer to evaluate 20 long‐term sites of arable land, tree orchards, vineyards and grassland in Europe and China, each with different tillage and cover crop strategies.

Rainfall‐induced landslides involving on Auckland Volcanic Field scoria cones are highly unusual, compared with widespread landsliding in the surrounding Auckland clay‐rich residual soils. Indeed, while Auckland can suffer from thousands of rainfall‐induced shallow landslides from severe storms at subdecadal timescales, these are usually limited to ...

Fruit Texture Measurement: A Review of Biological and Mechanical Interactions
Textural changes are an important aspect of fruit ripening. Accurate measurement of texture allows for a scientific understanding of fruit development including aspects of maturation and ripening, the effect of storage treatments, and the sensory acceptability for a range of fruit species.
