Engineering Science and Technology, an International Journal, 2020 Structures constructed on expansive soils are experiencing higher upward pressure due to swelling- shrinkage nature of expansive soil. India has 15–20% expansive soil, which causes severe damage to the existing structure, including pavements, dams, multi-

Experimental evaluation of performance of compaction-grouted soil nails using geotextile
Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2022 A new idea that adopts a geotextile instead of a latex membrane to improve the performance of a pressure-grouted soil nail is proposed. First, based on the self-developed device for testing filtration performance of the geotextile, a series of cement ...

Mulching does not improve seedling survival or growth during early forest restoration
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Weed control is one of the main operational challenges and cost components of tropical forest restoration in former pasturelands. Physical barriers (mulches) have been proposed as an alternative to conventional ring weeding because they can suppress competing vegetation while potentially improving the soil microenvironment ...

Geotextile covering:Potential technique for farmland salinization control
, 2021 This paper investigated fabric coverings, exploring their ability to remove salt from saline soils. Soil columns filled with saline soil were saturated with saltwater, then covered with four kinds of fabric materials (nylon, cotton, geotextile [150 g m−2]

Evaluating the state of constructed infills in the Venice Lagoon through remote satellite imagery
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Salt‐marsh restoration is used to counter wetland loss, strengthen ecosystem resilience, and support dredged‐sediment reuse. In the Venice Lagoon, 63 constructed infills have been realized since the late 1980s, yet their eco‐geomorphological development and restoration performance remain incompletely assessed. Objectives The study

Investigation of durability of geotextiles tubes in marine conditions [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesGeotextile tubes are widely used in coastal protection structures like revetments, breakwaters, and containment bunds. Geotextile sheets that make up the tube are exposed to harsh environmental conditions, such as UV radiation and wave action.
