Large deformation and post-failure simulations of segmental retaining walls using mesh-free method (SPH) [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Numerical methods are extremely useful in gaining insights into the behaviour of reinforced soil retaining walls. However, traditional numerical approaches such as limit equilibrium or finite element methods are unable to simulate large deformation and post-failure behaviour of soils and retaining wall blocks in the reinforced soil retaining walls ...

Designing for Degradation: Transient Devices Enabled by (Nano)Cellulose
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Recent progress in transient devices enabled by (nano)cellulosic materials is reviewed. Transiency mechanisms, advantages of nanocelluloses, and a suite of applications are discussed. A circular thinking approach coupled with life cycle assessment is applied to critically revisit the potential, advantages, and challenges of nanocellulose‐enabled ...

Modeled soil erosion potential is low across California's annual rangelands
California Agriculture, 2018 We used the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) to evaluate how different residual forage dry matter (RDM) levels affect erosion potential in rangelands across California. The model was adapted to operate in a geographic information system (GIS)

Optimizing Waste Management Collection Routes in Urban Haiti: A Collaboration between DataKind and SOIL [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Sustainable Organic Integrated Livelihoods (SOIL) is a research and development organization that aims to increase access to cost-effective household sanitation services in urban communities in Haiti. Each week, SOIL provides over 1,000 households with ecological sanitation toilets, then transports the waste to be transformed into rich compost. However,

Soil testing for P and K has value in nutrient management for annual crops
California Agriculture, 2016 Adequate nutrients in forms available to plant roots are essential for sustainable crop production. Soil testing for phosphorus and potassium availability allows growers and crop advisers to determine whether a soil is likely to respond to fertilization.

A Bio‐Inspired Perspective on Materials Sustainability
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This perspective discusses natural materials as inspiration for sustainable engineering designs and the processing of materials. First, circularity, longevity, parsimony, and activity are presented as essential material paradigms. The perspective then uses many examples of natural and technical materials to introduce principles such as oligo ...
