Composite geomembrane has been widely used in reservoir seepage prevention. Usually, composite geomembrane is composed of geomembrane and geotextile, which plays a protective and strengthening role and has an important influence on the swelling ...

Abstract Although overland flow strongly governs soil erosion and sediment transport, its response to desiccation cracking induced by drying‐wetting cycles is not fully understood. This study addresses this gap through laboratory rainfall simulations on a slope model subjected to three drying‐wetting cycles.

The Effects of Microplastics and Additives on Ecosystem Function, Structure, and Signaling
Microplastics disrupt ecosystem signaling through olfactory traps, altering predator–prey signaling and disrupting microbial communication and quorum sensing. ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) and their associated chemical additives are pervasive contaminants whose ecological impacts extend beyond organismal toxicity to fundamentally alter ecosystem ...

Lateritic soils are commonly used in pavement subgrades in tropical regions, but their performance can be limited by plasticity, moisture sensitivity, and low bearing capacity. This study evaluates the plasticity, compaction, and California Bearing Ratio

A field‐validated predictive model accurately estimates the strain modulus of waste calcium composite‐stabilized dispersive clay. The model provides a reliable, sustainable, and cost‐effective tool for subgrade design, reducing dependence on extensive field testing while improving pavement performance.

I'll Be Dammed: Efficiency and Cost‐Analysis of a Rehabilitated Prehispanic Dam in the Andes
ABSTRACT Within archaeology there is a growing shift away from the purely aesthetic towards making the past relevant to present and future needs and demands. The Past Water Futures project charts the impact of ancient dam rehabilitation on climate change‐induced water scarcity in the North Central Andes.

Flume test evaluation on the performance of geotextile tubes for innovative application in coastal protection [PDF]
Geotextile tubes have been widely used for decades in coastal protection, primarily for erosion control and wave attenuation. With the increasing threat of global warming and sea-level rise, the safety of coastal properties and human lives is becoming ...

Anthropogenic stressors often co‐occur in ecosystems, but their combined impacts are rarely assessed using field experiments. Press disturbances particularly can reshape community dynamics, altering their capacity to withstand or recover from acute pulse disturbances by modifying response diversity.

Filtration behaviour of soil-nonwoven geotextile combinations subjected to various loads
Geotextiles are often subject to different load types in their filtration applications. The load action can cause changes in soil density, geotextile stretching and flow interaction at the soil-geotextile interface. All of these load-induced changes to a
