A general mathematical framework for modelling soil-water retention behaviour [PDF]
A new constitutive model for the soil-water retention behaviour of unsaturated soils is proposed, able to reproduce the main drying and wetting paths, the cyclic retention behaviour and its dependence on the specific volume.

Normal-phase high performance liquid chromatography of estradiol derivatives on amino- and diol- columns [PDF]
The retention behaviour of estradiol derivatives was studied by HPLC on chemically bonded polar stationary phases: commercially available amino- and diol- columns, as a function of the heptane-propan-1-ol as the mobile phase, when the volume fraction of ...

A study on synthesis and properties of SAPs based on carboxymethyl cellulose
Carboxymethyl cellulose-graft-poly(acrylic acidSodium acrylate-acrylamide) SAPs have been prepared by the free-radical grafting solution polymerization of acrylic acid (AA) and acrylamide monomers (AM) onto carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) in the presence ...

Experimental Study of Soil Water Characteristic Curve for a Clayey Soil Reinforced with Model Geocell for Freezing-Thawing Cycles [PDF]
The category of geosynthetics includes geocells as a common subclass. As a low-cost, easilyinstalled solution to soil stabilisation problems, geocells are gaining popularity in the field of geotechnical engineering.

Separation and lipophilicity of some new steroid derivatives in normal- and reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography [PDF]
The separation ability and retention of normal and reversed phase HPLC with, respectively, three non-polar and two polar mobile phases, have been studied by measuring the retention constants of a series of newly synthesized estrone derivatives.

A coupled hydro – mechanical approach for modelling the volume change behaviour of compacted bentonite [PDF]
The volumetric response of compacted bentonites against environmental actions is a key aspect in most designs of nuclear waste repositories. The safety assessment of such repositories must account for robust and reliable models of stress–strain for ...

SimuIating landsIides using two-phase two-point material point method [PDF]
Material point method (MPM) is an effective numerical method for large-deformation analysis under unsaturated conditions. In the previous studies, water retention ability and permeability function were assumed to be Independent of soil deformation ...

Unlocking the water retention behaviour of turf construction materials [PDF]
Turf is not a material frequently associated with construction. However, as a cheap, easily available, and versatile material it was used in antiquity (and has been used in various contexts since) to form unit-based and mass walls, embankments, and ...

An experimental investigation on the water retention behaviour of a silty soil for the computation of the lateral earth thrust on a retaining wall [PDF]
Retaining structures often interact with soils in unsaturated conditions and their performance is influenced by environmental actions. Currently, geotechnical analysis and design approaches mainly consider the soils either totally dry or totally ...
