Litter layer influence on the thermal regime of a sandy soil under a pine forest in mediterranean Portugal [PDF]

, 2004
Decomposition of needle litter is a relevant process in applied ecology, namely in the nutrient dynamics of forested ecosystems. Soil temperature strongly influences soil microbian activity.

EFFECT OF GRADING OF SANDY SOIL ON STRENGTH OF CEMENT TREATED SANDY SOIL

Doboku Gakkai Ronbunshu, 1992
セメントを安定材に用いた事前混合処理土の強度は, セメントの種類とその添加率のみならず, 処理対象土の種類, 細粒分含有率によっても変化する. 本文は, それらの原因を明らかにするため, 粒度を調整した山砂事前混合処理土の強度とその粒子間隙におけるセメント水和物の架橋状況, さらに水セメント比が変化した場合の粒度の影響を検討した. その結果, 処理対象土の粒度が, 事前混合処理土の強度に影響を及ぼすのは, 貧配合の場合に限られること, そして粒子間隙の小さいものほど, セメント水和物の架橋が密であり, 事前混合処理土の強度が増大することなどを明らかにした.

Strength properties of sandy soil-cement admixtures [PDF]

Geotechnical and Geological Engineering, 2009
Soil stabilization with cement is a good solution for the construction of subgrades for roadway and railway lines, especially in “noble” foundations layers, under the platforms, and mostly in transition zones between embankments and rigid structures, where the mechanical properties of supporting soils are very much demand full ...

The plant‐available water associated with the four critical soil suctions vary depending on the different soil textures

Vadose Zone Journal
Critical soil suctions of plant‐available water (PAW), including the soil water suction at field capacity (hFC), threshold suction (hthreshold), tipping suction (htipping), and permanent wilting point (hPWP).

Agronomic potential of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) based organic-phosphate liquid fertilizer on strawberry growth, yield and fruit quality in contrasting soil types

Environmental Challenges
The valorisation of invasive aquatic species such as the Eichhornia crassipes presents a sustainable alternative to synthetic fertilizers. This study assessed the agronomic performance of an organic liquid fertilizer derived from water hyacinth applied ...

Numerical Analysis of the Ultimate Bearing Capacity of Strip Footing Constructed on Sand-over-Clay Sediment

Buildings
This paper analyzes the bearing capacity of two-layered soil medium using finite element (FE) software ABAQUS/CAE 2023. Although geotechnical engineers design foundations for layered soil, majorly current geotechnical studies emphasize single homogenous ...

Foam used during EPB tunnelling in saturated sand, parameters determining foam consumption [PDF]

, 2012
The amount of foam injected during drilling with an EPB-shield in saturated sand is quite often based on experience and/or empiric relations. A method is presented in to calculate the amount of foam needed to create a muck with limited or no grain stress.

Erosion Mechanisms in Unpaved Roads: Effects of Slope, Rainfall, and Soil type

Air, Soil and Water Research
Erosion is the main cause of damage to unpaved roads. This study utilized rainfall simulators to quantify erosion on unpaved roads, controlling variables such as rainfall intensity and slope. A laboratory model of an unpaved road was utilized to evaluate
