Moderate Fire Temperatures Affect the Structure of Clayey Oxisol Aggregates
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Wildfires have become increasingly frequent and intense worldwide, raising concerns about their impacts on soil systems. However, the thermal responses of clay‐rich Oxisols, dominated by Fe and Al oxides, remain poorly understood. In this study, samples from the 0 to 5 cm layer of six Oxisols were subjected to controlled heating at ...

Development and validation of hydraulic driven electronic penetrometer for georeferenced point collection [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental, 2020 Soil penetration resistance (SPR) is used as an indicator of compaction, as it is related to important soil and plant attributes and is an easily obtainable measure.

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study presents large deformation computational methods to simulate lateral vehicular impacts on steel piles in granular soil. Soil‐mounted longitudinal barrier systems rely on energy dissipation in both the piles and the surrounding soil to safely redirect errant vehicles, so dynamic pile‐soil interaction is important for design ...

Coal-shale interface detector [PDF]
, 1980 A coal-shale interface detector for use with coal cutting equipment is described. The detector consists of a reciprocating hammer with an accelerometer to measure the impact of the hammer as it penetrates the ceiling or floor surface of a mine ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Habitat‐modifying plants engineer landscapes through plant‐environment feedbacks. The strength of these feedbacks is determined by above‐ and below‐ground traits shaping landscape morphology. Besides interspecific differences, recent findings highlight that intraspecific trait variation, such as shoot density, can also influence landscape morphology ...

On the evaluation of pre-consolidation pressure of undisturbed saturated clays
HBRC Journal, 2017 The objective of this research was to show the effect of sample disturbance on the values of pre-consolidation pressure бc by using Schmertmann method. A prediction of бc form pocket penetrometer is also achieved.
