A Bio-Wicking System to Mitigate Capillary Water in Base Course [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Water within pavement layers is the major cause of pavement deteriorations. High water content results in significant reduction in soil’s resilient behavior and increase in permanent deformation. Conventional drainage systems can only drain gravity water

Field Experiments of Rainfall‐Induced Weathered Granite Residual Soil Shallow Landslides

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Affected by the extreme climate in recent years, the heavy rainfall has induced a large number of shallow landslides along roads in the granite residual land area in southeast China. Currently, the hydraulic response, evolution mechanism, and failure process of unsaturated granite residual soil landslides at the field scale are not well understood.

Soil–Water Retention Characteristics and Plant‐Available Water of Andosols in a Semiarid Environment: Evidence From the Central Rift Valley, Ethiopia

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Soil Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Soil–water retention characteristics and plant‐available water (PAW) are critical for irrigation management in semiarid Andosols. This study determined the soil–water characteristic curves (SWCCs) of Andosols at the Melkassa Agricultural Research Center (MARC), Central Rift Valley (CRV), Ethiopia, using a pressure plate apparatus at matric potentials ...

Stability Analysis of Multilevel Cutting Slope Before and After Highway Expansion Under Rainfall Conditions

open access: yesJournal of Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This study employs the FLAC3D numerical simulation software to systematically analyze the stability of multitier embankment slopes in the G4 Beijing–Hong Kong–Macau Expressway expansion project, under various rainfall conditions in Hunan Province. The research innovatively compares slope designs before and after the highway expansion, as well as the ...

Comparative analysis of four soil water sensors for irrigation water management

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract With the increasing availability of soil water sensing technologies for irrigation management, it is essential to compare sensor options in production field settings. In this study, four soil water sensors—CropX, FieldNet with Watermark sensors, Valley Aqua Trac Lite using Sentek probe, and Aqua Trac Pro with Watermark sensors—were compared ...

Predicting the soil-water characteristic curve from soil particle size distribution considering the film water

open access: yesShui kexue jinzhan, 2017
Predicting soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) from particle size distribution was an easy, rapid and economical method. However, the traditional estimate of water content in this method didn't consider the adsorbed water films, which led to an ...
