Rheological Properties of Sandy Soils
Advanced Materials Research, 2014Modern models of soils to describe elastic-viscoplastic properties do not always lead to the desired results , especially when it is necessary to take into account the time factor. In particular, one cannot always describe the rheological model and creep and relaxation , as well as get extreme at kinematic mode loading. This is due to the fact that the

Journal of Geotechnical Engineering, 1986
Recently soil arching theory has been extended to the study of forces and stresses exerted by a yielding soil mass against discrete piles embedded in a slope and extending into a firm, nonâyielding base. Many uses of discrete pile retaining wall systems exist in current geotechnical practice.

Electric explosions in sandy soil
Combustion, Explosion, and Shock Waves, 19711. The kinematic parameters of motion of sand have been obtained for a subsurface electric explosion. 2. It has been shown that there is no qualitative difference in the nature of the motion of the sand following electric and chemical explosions; however, a chemical explosion is a more powerful source for mechanical action than an ...

Earthquake resistance of sandy soils
Batiment International, Building Research and Practice, 1981The need to have reliable foundations for potentially vulnerable installations like nuclear power stations has renewed interest in a particularly hazardous phenomenon of some earthquakes. This is when a saturated level sandy soil can behave almost like a liquid as a result of the severe ground motion.

Electro-migration of nitrate in sandy soil
Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2000Migration of nitrate to groundwater has become a serious threat in many agricultural areas. This paper presents the results of experimental laboratory tests studying the nitrate gradient developed in response to an electrical potential. Two systems were tested; the first had no flow (closed system) and the second had flow opposite to the direction of ...

Feasibility of toxaphene transport through sandy soil
Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 1989Toxaphene, produced by the chlorination of camphene, is a chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticide that was widely used to control a variety of insects on crops and to control livestock skin parasites. It is known to be a toxic and a highly persistent chemical in soil where its half-life can be in excess of ten years, depending on the environmental ...

Fluoride retention by sandy soils
Water, Air, & Soil Pollution, 1983Despite low concentrations of factors associated with fluoride binding in soils, the soils investigated in this study showed high soluble fluoride retention rates varying from 94.9 to 98.4% even at very high fluoride application rates. It was concluded that the illuvial (B) horizon and to a lesser extent, the mineral (A) horizon were responsible for ...

Buried Artifacts in Sandy Soils
2001Since the 1960s, it has become increasingly clear that once an artifact is deposited on a surface it is subject to many different types of displacement and burial processes that come under the general heading of pedoturbation (Hole, 1961; Johnson, 1990; Wood and Johnson, 1978).
