Modelling of fine soils railway embankments behaviour under real cyclic loads
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018 Before the development of regulations, standards and guides for infrastructure building, embankments were generally constructed, by reusing and compacting the excavation materials.

Selected Physical and Geotechnical Properties of Loess in Wairarapa Valley, New Zealand
New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 4, December 2026.Loess up to 10 m thick covers marine terraces, old river aggradation terraces, and gentle hill country slopes in Wairarapa, New Zealand. In the drier eastern and southern parts of Wairarapa, the loess is subject to dry summer and autumn and wet winter and spring in most years.

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.ABSTRACT Urbanisation, climate uncertainty, and limited city budgets have heightened the need for efficient urban drainage management. While advanced hydrodynamic models assess the performance of drainage networks, they are computationally intensive, time‐consuming, and expensive.

Embankments Built Over Swamps [PDF]
, 1984 Time and environmental constraints necessitated the development of unique methods for building earthen embankments over very deep and soft swamp deposits. Three case histories are presented.

World Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 4, November 2026.ABSTRACT This paper describes and analyzes recharge practices in Bács‐Kiskun County, Hungary, within what can be categorized as the farmer domain. Such locally embedded aquifer recharge practices remain underexplored in Hungary. Current research and funding largely focus on large‐scale Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) interventions emphasizing intended ...

Water retention characterization of non-woven geotextiles: An application for wicking materials [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesNon-woven geotextiles are commonly used in soil embankments for separation, filtration, and drainage purposes. While these conventional geotextiles can effectively drain gravitational water from saturated embankments, they often struggle to drain ...

Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2026.This study introduces a reliability‐calibrated machine learning framework to predict the maximum dry density and optimum moisture content of heterogeneous soils. By integrating 15 algorithms with conformal prediction, the models deliver accurate compaction estimates alongside rigorous, distribution‐free 90% confidence intervals.

Ice overtopping of embankments: ice-tank experiments and field observations [PDF]
, 2018 Ice-sheet overtopping poses a problem for embankments adjoining large water bodies in cold regions. The problem is akin to wave loading and overtopping, though the water level is well below embankment crest level.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.We combined and assessed multiple national‐scale monitoring datasets for the West European hedgehog. They suggest a long‐term and concerning abundance decline in agricultural landscapes but apparently stable trends in urban areas. These results have important implications for wider farmland biodiversity in Britain, as well as hedgehog conservation ...
