Construction and testing of self-drilled soil nails [PDF]
, 2016 Current standards and best practice guidance recognise that testing of self-drilled hollow bar soil nails can be problematic as conventional packers and debonded lengths cannot be constructed.

Evaluation of organic matter stability during the composting process of agroindustrial wastes. [PDF]
, 2002 Composting of wastes from citrus industrial processing (pastazzo and sludge) was studied in order to evaluate the evolution of organic matter during the process and to individuate chemical and/or biochemical techniques able to set the stability of the ...

Plant roots increase both decomposition and stable organic matter formation in boreal forest soil
Nature Communications, 2019 Understanding mechanisms of soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition and stabilisation improves soil-climate feedback predictions. Here the authors show that roots in boreal forest promote organic nitrogen economy and provide a framework on how roots ...

Significant effect of concentration ratio in synthesizing titania nanoflowers (TNF) powder via facile hydrothermal method [PDF]
, 2018 The significant effect of titanium butoxide and hydrochloric acid (TBut/HCl) concentration ratio in synthesizing titania nanoflowers (TNF) towards powder morphologies, crystallographic phases, surface area and band gap were investigated.

Emerging trends in expansive soil stabilisation: A review
Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2019 Expansive soils are problematic due to the performances of their clay mineral constituent, which makes them exhibit the shrink-swell characteristics. The shrink-swell behaviours make expansive soils inappropriate for direct engineering application in ...

Study of the trace metal ion influence on the turnover of soil organic matter in cultivated contaminated soils [PDF]
, 2006 The role of metals in the behaviour of soil organic matter (SOM) is not well documented. Therefore, we investigated the influence of metals (Pb, Zn, Cu and Cd) on the dynamic of SOM in contaminated soils where maize (C4 plant) replaced C3 cultures. Three

Soil stabilisation with hydraulic binders
IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2022 Abstract The lack of a good foundation ground layer in some areas that could be used for construction proposes is a common problem all over the world. Today, more and more researches are focused on finding new solutions to improve the soil parameters in order to obtain a stabilized foundation layer.

Optimization of RHA and Cement proportion for soil stabilization [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesThe process of changing a soil’s physical characteristics to provide it long-term, permanent improvements in strength is known as soil stabilisation. Increasing a soil’s overall bearing capacity and shear strength is how stabilisation is achieved.

The Potential Of The Soil For Stabilisation Of Organic Carbon In Soil Aggregates
Agriculture, 2015 Carbon stabilisation in soil is the result of interaction between the chemical and physical mechanisms of protection and the dominance of the mechanism depends not only on the long-term constant characteristics of soil but also on the properties, which ...
