Effects of sand content and grain size on the compression behaviour of clayey sand

Frontiers in Built Environment
While extensive studies have been conducted on the compressibility of clay and sand, soils commonly encountered in natural environments or hydraulic reclamation projects are often gap-graded mixtures of coarse and fine particles, such as sand-clay or ...

Optimizing Strategies for Non‐Invasive Prospection of Settlements in the Intertidal Zone: A Case Study From the Centre of the Drowned Medieval Village of Tolsende (Scheldt Estuary, the Netherlands)

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Medieval and early modern drowned villages in the intertidal zone of the Scheldt estuary (the Netherlands) constitute intriguing yet largely understudied components of north‐western Europe's underwater cultural heritage. Despite their high archaeological potential as time capsules of past settlement landscapes, research has remained limited ...

Effects of blown sand and soil properties on the abrasion rate of compacted soil

Geoderma
Abrasion caused by blown sand is an important process for compacted soils in grasslands. The abrasion rate is affected by a combination of the blown sand intensity and the properties of the underlying soil, but there is a paucity of relevant studies of the simultaneous effects of these factors, especially quantitative ones.

Scanning Parametric Sediment Echosounder as Tool for Underwater Archaeological Prospection

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Underwater cultural heritage 3D prospection techniques, especially for remains that are partly buried in the ground, are only very rarely available and often can only be applied with considerable technical effort. To overcome this limitation, we evaluate a methodological adaption of widely used and available single channel parametric sediment ...

Geotechnical viability of sand, cement, and binary stabilisation of soils in the western Niger Delta; An example of Warri City, Southern Nigeria

Journal of the Geological Survey of Brazil
The pavement performance of superficial soils in southern Nigeria is in decline, most notably due to the use of inferior pavement materials and poor soil conditions.

A Sand-Spreader used for the Reconstitution of Granular Soil Models

Soils and Foundations, 1991
If one is to deal with experimental analysis of soil-foundation interactions, the first problem to consider is that of reconstituting soil models. This paper presents the results obtained by using a sand-spreader which was designed and built by the author for this purpose. The paper also looks at design criteria and the calibration of the assembly. The

The Effects of Sand-Fixing Agents and Trichoderma longibrachiatum on Soil Quality and Alfalfa Growth in Wind-Sand Soil

Agriculture
The degradation of sandy land in Inner Mongolia presents a substantial threat to regional ecological security and the sustainable development of agriculture and animal husbandry. Planting alfalfa serves as a crucial recovery strategy; however, the inadequate capacity to retain water and nutrients impedes this process. The current reliance on a singular
