Study on mechanical properties and mesostructure of subgrade silty sand under freeze-thaw cycles
Frontiers in MaterialsIntroductionFreeze–thaw cycles induce frost heave and thaw settlement in subgrades, degrade their service performance, and jeopardize traffic safety, making them primary concerns for transportation infrastructure in seasonally frozen regions.

Geological Journal, EarlyView.The study outlines the tectono‐sedimentary evolution of the İnegöl Basin in north‐western Anatolia. Basin formation was controlled by interacting extensional and strike‐slip fault systems linked to uplift of the Uludağ Massif. Terrestrial sedimentation from the Miocene to Pleistocene is reconstructed using abundant fossil mammal assemblages that ...

Analysis of the Shaft Resistance of Nondisplacement Piles in Sand
, 2008 The paper examines, using numerical modelling, the problem of the limit shaft resistance of non-displacement piles installed in sands. The modelling makes use of an advanced, two-surface-plasticity constitutive model.

Breeding switchgrass for reduced nitrogen demand
Grassland Research, EarlyView.Breeding has improved switchgrass biomass yield, but productivity is still heavily dependent on nitrogen fertilizer application. The genetic diversity needed to improve nitrogen use efficiency of switchgrass remains underused, mainly because of the slow and laborious breeding process, thus leaving the crop's high nitrogen demand as a major barrier to ...

Effect of Relative Density and Stress Level on the Bearing Capacity of Footings on Sand
, 2010 The design of shallow foundations relies on bearing capacity values calculated using empirical procedures that are based in part on solutions obtained using the method of characteristics, which assumes a soil that is perfectly plastic following an ...

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Efficient irrigation scheduling is critical in sandy soils to achieve optimum yield and maximum net benefit with minimum environmental concerns. The Environmental Policy Integrated Climate (EPIC) model was used to study the impacts of autoirrigation of corn on crop yield and soil water balance during 2019–2021 at −300 and −450 kPa for loamy ...

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Accurate monitoring of crop water use is critical for precision irrigation, yet conventional lysimeter systems remain too costly and complex for widespread adoption. This study presents the development and field validation of a low‐cost, information and communication technology (ICT)‐enabled weighing lysimeter system that integrates load cells,

Applicability study os the oedometer test to a silty sand [PDF]
, 2019 This paper exposes the applicability study of the oedometer test to an existing silty sand soil, from the city of Braganza, with the purpose to verify the applicability of this test to soils with fines in his composition, in a region with predominance of

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Climate change is making water availability more uncertain, with growing consequences for the productivity and long‐term sustainability of tropical and subtropical fruit orchards. Mangifera indica L. and Persea americana Mill. both require large amounts of water to sustain growth and productivity.
