A NEW METHOD FOR ESTIMATING THE MOISTURE CONTENT AND FLEXIBILITY OF POLYMERISED BENTONITE CLAY MAT [PDF]
Journal of Engineering Science and Technology, 2017 This paper presents a scientific development to address the current absence of a convenient technique to identify the ductile to brittle transition of bentonite clay mats. The instrumented indentation and 3-point bending tests were performed on different

Combined sensor of dielectric constant and visible and near infrared spectroscopy to measure soil compaction using artificial neural networks [PDF]
, 2014 Soil compaction is a widely spread problem in agricultural soils that has negative agronomic and environmental impacts. The former may lead to poor crop growth and yield, whereas the latter may lead to poor hydraulic properties of soils, and high risk to

Effect of Soil Moisture and Determination of Critical Soil Moisture Contents of Cassava
Indian Journal Of Agricultural Research, 2020 The aims of this research were to investigate the effects of soil moisture on cassava growth and physiological processes and to determine the critical soil moisture contents. To fulifll the research objectives, cassava was grown under five levels of soil moisture, including 50, 40, 30 and 20% of soil available water holding capacity (AWHC) along with ...

Methods for determining the critical deformations of wood with various moisture content
Scientific Horizons, 2023 During construction of bridges, the possibility of flooding periods should be considered. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the degree of possible deformation of wooden structures and calculate the limit of their plasticity and elasticity at different values of moisture content.

The critical moisture content of drying.
Journal of the Society of Powder Technology, Japan, 1987 A method for the prediction of the critical moisture content of drying rate curve is presented with a simple model. When the drying intensity is relatively large, it can be predicted by use of semi-infinite model. When the drying intensity is small, the linear-flux or steady flux model can be used.For a continuous dryer, variable humidity and ...
