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

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

Can flexible ureteroscopy using flexible and navigable suction ureteral access sheath (FANS-UAS) minimize postoperative double J stent placement? Results from a propensity score-matched analysis of 540 patients of the European Association of Urology Section of Endourology and global FANS collaborative study group [PDF]
Investigative and Clinical UrologyPurpose: To evaluate whether using flexible and navigable suction ureteral access sheath can obviate insertion of double J stent and establish the safety of overnight ureteric catheter placement as alternative following flexible ureteroscopy for kidney ...

Thermo-mechanical behaviour of a compacted swelling clay [PDF]
, 2008 Compacted unsaturated swelling clay is often considered as a possible buffer material for deep nuclear waste disposal. An isotropic cell permitting simultaneous control of suction, temperature and pressure was used to study the thermo-mechanical ...

Influence of Suction on Capacity of Pile Foundation
Applied Sciences, 2023 In the common practice of geotechnical design, the state of soil is considered fully saturated, while recent examples show the importance of the consideration of unsaturated conditions as well due to the location of the groundwater table at deeper levels.

Pull-Out Mechanism of Horizontal and Inclined Plate Anchors in Normally Consolidated Clay
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 As most existing experimental studies on plate anchors were carried out in uniform clay, a centrifuge model study is presented in this paper to investigate the pull-out behaviour of plate anchors in normally consolidated clay, which is not uncommon in ...

Falling liquid films with blowing and suction [PDF]
, 2015 Flow of a thin viscous film down a flat inclined plane becomes unstable to long wave interfacial fluctuations when the Reynolds number based on the mean film thickness becomes larger than a critical value (this value decreases as the angle of inclination
