Mechanical Soil Database—Part I: Impact of Bulk Density and Organic Matter on Precompression Stress and Consequences for Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity [PDF]
The mechanical strength of agricultural soils depends on many soil properties and functions. The database, “soil strength and consequences for sustainable land use and soil management SOILMECHDAT-Kiel”, originates from the “Horn Research Group” includes ...

Estimation of precompression stress in an Ultisol cultivated with sugarcane [PDF]
Compressive soil properties are typically used for the understanding of compaction process. As an alternative to laboratory tests, pedo-transfer functions have been used to estimate the mechanical behaviour of soil as a function of soil physical ...

Effect of Land-use Management Systems on Coupled Hydraulic Mechanical Soil Processes Defining the Climate-Food-Energy-Water Nexus. [PDF]
Soils are the most critical life-supporting compartments of the biosphere. They provide numerous ecosystem services such as habitat for biodiversity, water and nutrients, as well as producing food, feed, fiber and energy.

Bending Strength of Connection Joints of Prestressed Reinforced Concrete Pipe Piles
The connection joint of prestressed concrete pipe piles is a typical steel–concrete structure, and its bending strength has evolved into a critical factor affecting the safety of supporting structures in underground engineering.

Prediction of geotechnical properties of deltaic clays by using regression analysis models [PDF]
Establishment of any engineering structure on a compressible clay leads to settlement and/or failure through this clay. The amount of settlement is related mainly to the compressibility parameters while the failure to the undrained strength.
