Geotechnical characteristics of some Iraqi gypseous soils [PDF]
In Iraq, especially in the last three decades, extensive developments have been evidenced in the regions of gypseous soils due to the need of construction of many numbers of strategic projects. Failure of different structures constructed on gypseous soil in various regions in Iraq have been noticed.

Geotechnical Behaviour of Gypseous Soil Treated by Geopolymer Additives
Gypseous soil is well-known for its numerous engineering problems. When this soil is exposed to water, the gypsum in the soil dissolves, causing the buildings built on it to collapse; so, treating gypseous soil is important for improving its engineering

Compressibility characteristics of collapsible gypseous soil: A review
AbstractGypseous soil is located in dry and semi-arid areas in unsaturated conditions and this type of soil becomes a serious issue for engineering and geotechnical when it becomes wet. the properties and structure of this soil change, when exposed to soaking and leaching, because gypsum is dissolved in water causing a rupture in the bonds that hold ...

Is it true that the date palm tree consumes a lot of water? Evaluation of the date palm tree transpiration using Granier's sap flow method in a Tunisian Saharan oasis [PDF]
To improve the irrigation water management in oasian context, evapotranspiration assessment is required. In Tunisian oases, date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is the main crop and its water use is an essential evapotranspiration element. In this research,

Enhancing gypseous soil behavior using casein from milk wastes
Gypseous soil is a metastable soil that causes problems in the constructions built on it under wetting conditions. Due to the harmful effects of traditional soil binders such as lime or cement on the environment, alternative environmental-friendly ...
