Monitoring the Response of Roads and Railways to Seasonal Soil Movement with Persistent Scatterers Interferometry over Six UK Sites

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2017
Road and rail networks provide critical support for society, yet they can be degraded by seasonal soil movements. Currently, few transport network operators monitor small-scale soil movement, but understanding the conditions contributing to ...

Compressibility of Oxisol aggregates under no-till in response to soil water potential Compressibilidade de agregados de Latossolo Vermelho sob plantio direto em resposta ao potencial da água do solo

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2009
The system of no-till sowing stands out as being a technology that suits the objectives of more rational use of the soil and greater protection against the erosion. However, through till, any of it, occurs modifications of the soil's structure.

An Experimental Study on the Microstructure Evolution of Soil under Lateral Consolidation Compression

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
Based on the lateral consolidation compression experiment of remolded soil simulating the effects of pile driving and soil squeezing, in this paper, the microstructures of soil with different degrees of lateral consolidation were investigated by a ...

Compaction behaviour of clay [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
This paper presents an experimental study of the compaction behaviour of non-active clay. One-dimensional static compaction tests were carried out at high and medium water content with matric suction monitoring using Trento high-capacity tensiometers. At

Numerical analysis of evolution of the unsaturated soil micro-structure with capillary action during compression

open access: yesShuiwen dizhi gongcheng dizhi, 2022
Using numerical method to investigate the evolution of micro-structure in unsaturated soil is helpful to explain their physical mechanical. However, the evolution of micro-structure in unsaturated soil is not clear.
