Collapse Potential Of Gypseous Soils From Iraq
, 2016 Soil collapse occurs when increased moisture causes a chemical or physical bonds between the soil particles to weaken, which allows the structure of the soil to collapse. In Iraq, gypseous soils cover about (20 to 30) % of its total area concentrated primarily on the west desert and extended to the southern parts and directed towards south west.

Evolutionary origins of abnormally large shoot sodium accumulation in nonsaline environments within the Caryophyllales. [PDF]
New Phytol, 2017 Summary The prevalence of sodium (Na)‐‘hyperaccumulator’ species, which exhibit abnormally large shoot sodium concentrations ([Na]shoot) when grown in nonsaline environments, was investigated among angiosperms in general and within the Caryophyllales order in particular. Shoot Na concentrations were determined in 334 angiosperm species, representing 35

Behavior of Square Footing Erected on Gypseous Soil Treated by Ceramic Wastes
Tikrit Journal of Engineering Sciences, 2022 Gypseous soil, as is well known, includes a specific quantity of gypsum. Gypsum is a water-soluble salt with a solubility of (2.2-2.6) gram/liter in distilled - water.

Mineralogical composition of the urinary stones from different provinces in Iraq. [PDF]
ScientificWorldJournal, 2005 For this study, 25 samples of urinary stones were chosen from different provinces in Iraq as representative sampling localities. These samples of urinary stones were collected to represent kidney, urate, and bladder stones. The main objectives of this study are to try to shed some light on the possibilities of tracking down the effective environmental ...

Collapsibility of Gypseous Soil Treated with Pectin‐Biopolymer through Leaching
Journal of Engineering, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Gypsum reinforcement in dry soil provides activity resistance. It quickly becomes a source of danger in the conditions of partial and complete soaking of gypsum soil as a result of the dissolution of gypsum, which poses a great danger to the structures built on this soil.

Numerical Study on Load Bearing Capacity of Root‐Caisson Foundation
Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Innovation has been made in the caisson foundation to support a very large structure resting over a soft soil stratum known as the root‐caisson foundation. This technique was executed in China‐Yangtze River Bridge. The root caisson foundation was first implemented in the Yangtze River bridge and discovered that the root improves soil structure ...

Ceropegia longirostris sp. nov. (Apocynaceae–Asclepiadoideae) from Ethiopia and Kenya
Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 39, Issue 12, December 2021., 2021 The new species Ceropegia longirostris Thulin, M.G.Gilbert & Kaariye is described, illustrated and mapped. It is known from two localities, one on gypsum in the Somali National Regional State (Ogaden) in southeastern Ethiopia and one, based on a photographic record, from just east of Lake Turkana in northwestern Kenya. The new species is a member of C.

Two new species of Commicarpus (Nyctaginaceae) from the Horn of Africa
Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 39, Issue 4, April 2021., 2021 The new species Commicarpus altus Thulin from central Somalia and C. ogadenensis Thulin from southeastern Ethiopia are described, illustrated and mapped. Both species are shrubs with succulent leaves and white flowers, and they have previously been treated as forms of the widespread and variable C. plumbagineus (Cav.) Standl. Commicarpus altus is found

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021 There are a large number of high‐filled and deep‐dug highways in loess areas. The differential settlement between the filled and undisturbed soils is the main cause of damage. Bamboo grids are good reinforcement and flexural tensile materials for highway subgrades, and the properties of the interface between the bamboo grid and loess soil affect the ...
