Soil and environmental issues in sandy soils
Earth-Science Reviews, 2020Abstract Sandy soils are widely distributed across the world. Due to the growing global population and urbanization, these soils are increasingly used to provide food, feed, fiber, energy, and other services to our society. In this paper, we summarize some recent studies on sandy soils and review the main soil and environmental issues related to the ...

Hydraulic Conductivity Prediction for Sandy Soils
Groundwater, 2004Abstract The potential for petroleum‐contaminated soils to impact ground water is evaluated using the soil leachability model in South Carolina and Georgia. In this model, the Green and Ampt (1911) equation is used to estimate unsat‐urated flow with saturated hydraulic conductivity (

Phosphorus Leaching from Biosolids‐Amended Sandy Soils
Journal of Environmental Quality, 2002ABSTRACTIncreasing emphasis on phosphorus (P)‐based nutrient management underscores the need to understand P behavior in soils amended with biosolids and manures. Laboratory and greenhouse column studies characterized P forms and leachability of eight biosolids products, chicken manure (CM), and commercial fertilizer (triple superphosphate, TSP ...

Electrical resistivity of sandy soil
Géotechnique Letters, 2015This paper presents the results of an investigation into the interaction between the various electrical factors pertaining to resistivity tests in Perth sandy soil (specifically AC input voltage and frequency) and those controlling the soil characteristics, specifically water content and relative density of the soil, and the type of water employed in ...

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, non‐yielding 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 ...
