Relationships between leaf and root area indices and soil suction induced during drying-wetting cycles [PDF]

, 2016
The stability and serviceability of geotechnical infrastructure may be affected by plant-induced soil suction during drying-wetting cycles, because an increase in suction would reduce hydraulic conductivity and also increase shear strength.

Population of Nonmetallic Inclusions in Liquid High‐Silicon Electrical Steel in Contact With MgO–C Refractories Based on Recyclates and Environmentally Friendly Binders

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The formation of nonmetallic inclusions (NMIs) was investigated in this study, carrying out immersion tests for 30 min at a temperature of 1600°C with liquid high‐silicon electrical steel (Si ≈ 3 mass‐%) and different MgO–C refractories. Conventional MgO–C refractories were considered, as well as MgO–C refractories containing MgO–C recyclate and ...

Macro-micro tests of cohesive soil under varied normal and shear stresses subjected to drying-wetting cycles

Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
The mechanical behavior of cohesive soil is sensitized to drying-wetting cycles under confinements. However, the hydromechanical coupling effect has not been considered in current constitutive models.

Development of Sustainable MgO–C Refractories Using MgO–C Recyclates and a Novel Eco‐Friendly Fructose–Tannin Binder Crosslinked With Citric Acid

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study develops sustainable MgO–C refractories using recycled materials and eco‐friendly fructose–tannin binders. The enhanced performance of citric acid as a cross‐linker and functional additives on mechanical and thermomechanical properties was examined. Characterization included strength tests, immersion trials, and microstructural and inclusion

Impact of Pre‐Oxidation Treatments on a Recycled MgO/Steel‐Composite as Carbon Free Anode in Aluminum‐Electrolysis Environments

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Cermets (60 vol.% AISI 316L stainless steel, 40 vol.% recycled MgO), intended for use in aluminum electrolysis, were pre‐oxidized in three furnaces with different heating technologies and subjected to a cryolite corrosion test. The different atmospheres influenced the formation of oxide layers, which in turn affected corrosion resistance and ...

An elastoplastic model for unsaturated expansive soils based on shakedown concept [PDF]

, 2013
It is important to model the behaviour of unsaturated expansive soils subjected to hydromechanical loadings, because these wetting and drying cycles alter significantly their hydromechanical behaviour which may cause a huge differential settlement on the ...

Thermo-mechanical behaviour of a compacted swelling clay [PDF]

, 2008
Compacted unsaturated swelling clay is often considered as a possible buffer material for deep nuclear waste disposal. An isotropic cell permitting simultaneous control of suction, temperature and pressure was used to study the thermo-mechanical ...

Effects of Drying-Wetting Cycles on Soil-Water Characteristic Curve

DEStech Transactions on Environment, Energy and Earth Science, 2016
Alternate drying-wetting cycle is considered to be one of the important factors that can affect the hydro-mechanical properties of soil. Due to the variability of climatic condition, soils are experienced by multiple drying-wetting cycles. But most of the previous studies on soil physical and mechanical properties are limited to a single drying-wetting

A comparison of three canopy interception models for a leafless mixed deciduous forest stand in the eastern United States [PDF]

, 2007
Canopy interception of incident precipitation is a critical component of the forest water balance during each of the four seasons. Models have been developed to predict precipitation interception from standard meteorological variables because of ...
