Multi-level assessment of soil quality – linking reductionistic and holistic methodologies [PDF]
, 2000 Soil quality is often used as a qualitative, general term. However, quantification is an important feature of the scientific approach to nature. On the other hand, addressing specific soil parameters as indicators of soil quality includes a reduction of ...

Effect of strain rate on isotropically consolidated kaolin over a wide range of strain rates in the triaxial apparatus [PDF]
, 2011 Soils display strain rate dependant behaviour which may pose a problem in geotechnical engineering applications. In this study a modified lectromechanical triaxial apparatus was used to shear normally consolidated reconstituted Speswhite kaolin samples ...

Bone Ash Impact On Soil Shear Strength
, 2013 Most failures of soil have been attributed to poor shear strength. Consequently, the present paper investigated the suitability of cattle bone ash as a possible additive to improve the shear strength of soils. Four soil samples were collected and stabilized with prepared bone ash in proportions of 3%, 5%, 7%, 10%, 15% and 20% by dry weight.

Experimental study on shear characteristics of the silty clay soil-ice interface
Scientific Reports, 2022 During the spring thawing, the decrease of soil-ice interface strength by temperature may lead to slope instability. For this reason, some researchers have explored the relationship between temperature and soil-ice interface strength.

Marine silicon for biomedical sustainability
BMEMat, EarlyView.Schematic illustrating marine silicon for biomedical engineering. Abstract Despite momentous divergence from oceanic origin, human beings and marine organisms exhibit elemental homology through silicon utilization. Notably, silicon serves as a critical constituent in multiple biomedical processes.

PENGARUH PENGGUNAAN ELEKTROOSMOSIS TERHADAP PARAMETER KUAT GESER TANAH LEMPUNG Effect of Electroosmosis Usage on Shear Strength Parameters of Clay Soil [PDF]
, 2013 High content of water in clay soil causes low shear strength, This soil needs improvement in order to increase its shear strength. Improvement on clay soil can be done by reducing its water content, and affect its shear strength.
