Subgrade soils characterization data, for correlation of geotechnical variables on urban roads in northern Colombia

Data in Brief, 2020
Within the variables relevant to the design of a pavement structure, the subgrade soils should be considered, which must be characterized in order to determine their mechanical properties and their bearing capacity.

BeeRootBot: A Bioinspired Robotic Probe Exhibiting Apical Growth through In Situ Soil Binding

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study introduces a novel method for consolidating subterranean exploration pathways in plant‐inspired robots by binding in‐situ soil with beeswax, a biobased material. This simultaneous advancement and wall‐lining process reduces penetration resistance, enhances exploration efficiency, enables communication and resource sharing, and promotes ...

Effects of barley‐pea intercropping on soil carbon, crop productivity, and grain quality in a low‐input temperate agroecosystem

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Intercropping has the potential to help adapt arable agriculture to climate change, but its effects on soil carbon and crop production in temperate agroecosystems remain uncertain. This study examined the effects of temperate intercropping systems on soil carbon and crop productivity.

The Effect of Tip Design on Technological Performance During the Exploration of Earth, Lunar, and Martian Soil Environments

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 1, Page 387-408, January 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the penetration performance of soil‐burrowing probes with different tip designs during shallow‐depth penetration in various media, including terrestrial soils (Hostun sand) and well‐characterized planetary soil simulants (LHS‐1 Lunar regolith simulant and MGS‐1 Martian regolith simulant).

Estimation of Effective Internal Friction Angle by Ball Penetration Test: Large-Deformation Analyses

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
The ball penetrometer is a full-flow penetrometer used as an alternative to the traditional cone penetrometer for characterizing the strength of soft sediments, particularly for offshore engineering, due to its large projection area. However, if the ball

Assessing impact of conservation agriculture practices on soil physical properties under on‐farm conditions in Central Ohio, USA

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Basic indicators of soil health that influence water infiltration, root growth, gaseous exchange, and overall agronomic productivity are soil physical properties such as bulk density (BD), total porosity (TP), particle density (PD), and penetration resistance (PR).

A case study demonstrating the impact of tire inflation pressure and soil management practices on stress and compaction in agricultural soils

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Soil compaction caused by heavy machinery is a critical challenge in modern agriculture, compromising essential soil functions such as water infiltration, aeration, and root growth. This study evaluated the effects of tire inflation pressure, wheel load, and soil management practices on soil stress and compaction in clay loam and sandy loam ...
