Stabilized Dune Sand for Road Foundation Layers - Case of the Dune Sand of the Region of Djelfa (Algeria)

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2013
The aim of the work presented in this paper is the valorisation of dune sand, which is abundant in Djelfa (Algeria). This study consists of valorizing a local material in road foundation layers. Several stages will be considered in this investigation. A method of formulation of the mixtures has been proposed, which is based on the stabilization of the ...

Stabilization of calcareous sand dunes using phosphoric acid mulching liquid

Journal of Arid Environments, 2018
Abstract The water level reduction of Urmia Lake in the northwest of Iran has led to the shrinking of the lake area, exposure of the salt in the dried areas, desertification of shorelines, and creation and development of sand dunes in some coastal areas, especially Jabal Kandi region.

The Stability and Propagation of Sand Ripples and Dunes

1986
The study of the development and movement of sand ripples and dunes has received considerable attention in recent years, largely due to its relevance to several meteorological, environmental and engineering problems. Several authors have developed various mathematical and physical models to study the deformation of sand beds consisting of non-cohesive ...

Strength characteristics of dune sand stabilized with lime-silica fume mix

International Journal of Pavement Engineering, 2016
AbstractWhile more than half the land surface of Iraq consists of deserts covered mainly with sand dunes, little research has taken place to study the characteristics and the behaviour of sand dunes. The growth of economy, demography and building activities in Iraq necessitates carrying out geotechnical investigations for the dune sand.

Sand dunes mobility and stability in relation to climate

Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2005
Abstract Sand dunes form an important and unique system that can be mobile or fixed by vegetation. The common mobility indices of sand dunes, which are related to the wind and the amount of precipitation and potential evaporation, do not work in many dune fields around the world.

An eco-spatial index for evaluating stabilization state of sand dunes

Aeolian Research, 2013
Geomorphologies tend to categorize dunes into three major states (mobile, semi-stabilized and stabilized) based on their shape and mobility rate. However, the ecologists try to find bio-indicators that can characterize the mobility rate and the ecological features of the various dune states.

Stabilization and Afforestation of Sand Dunes Through Biosaline Culture Technique

1986
In view of the success met with in growing salt-tolerant plants in a sandy belt using highly saline water for irrigation, it is suggested that this technology be adopted for afforestation and stabilization of coastal sand dunes, where underground brackish water is often available.
