Hydrocarbon Penetration in Multi-Porosity Soil
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2020 AbstractGroundwater contamination is crucial, particularly due to hydrocarbon liquid leakages. Additionally, the vibration impact affects the migration of hydrocarbon through the subsurface soil to the groundwater surface which is causes by the dynamic stress that is imposed on the soils. Therefore, this paper presents the investigation and discussions

Effects of Different Porosities on Shear Strength of Fiber Clay by Response Surface Methodology
Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2018 To study the effects of different factors (fiber length, fiber content and porosity) on the shear strength of fiber reinforced soil, the direct shear test of 3 levels and 3 factors was designed by response surface methodology (RSM) to explore the effects

Compaction behaviour of clay [PDF]
, 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
