Soil compaction by wheeling: changes in soil suction caused by compression [PDF]
European Journal of Soil Science, 2010 Soil compaction caused by agricultural machinery has been increasingly recognized as a considerable problem facing intensive agriculture. Most of the models used to estimate soil deformation during the passage of machines are based on the concept of total stress: they have neglected an important stress variable for unsaturated ...

Influence of soil suction on runoff during whiplash events [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 The influence of soil suction on rainfall-runoff during whiplash events is explored. A series of 600 finite element simulations were completed using PLAXIS LE Groundwater.

Estimating soil suction from electrical resistivity [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2013 Soil suction and resistivity strongly depend on the degree of soil saturation and, therefore, both are used for estimating water content variations. The main difference between them is that soil suction is measured using tensiometers, which give point ...

Failure Behavior and Surrounding Soil Stress Responses of Suction Anchor in Low-Strength Muddy Clay
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Anchorage failure of a suction anchor is more likely to occur in low-strength muddy clay. This paper focuses on the failure behaviors of suction anchors and muddy clay stress responses.

Total Suction Measurement of Unsaturated Artificial Gypsified Soil Using the Chilled-Mirror Hygrometer Technique [PDF]
Engineering and Technology Journal, 2013 Total suction is the sum of the matric and the osmotic suction of the soil. Various methods are used to measure the total suction of the soil. One of the methods is the chilled–mirror hygrometer technique.

Probability Distribution of Soil Suction of Engineered Turf Cover and Compacted Clay Cover [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 It is unlikely to predict the distribution of soil suction in the field deterministically. It is well established that there are various sources of uncertainty in the measurement of matric suction, and the suction measurements in the field are even more ...

Stress-seepage coupled analysis of critical suction for installation of suction caissons in sand
Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2021 The critical suction is the key control factor for the installation of suction caissons in sand. The existing methods mainly rely on seepage analysis to determine the critical suction, which does not consider soil deformation and consequently might not ...

Comparisons of soil suction induced by evapotranspiration and transpiration of S. heptaphylla [PDF]
, 2015 For a given evapotranspiration (ETr), both soil evaporation and plant transpiration (Tr) would induce soil suction. However, the relative contribution of these two processes to the amount of suction induced is not clear. The objective of this study is to
