Estimating moisture content and hydraulic properties of unsaturated sandy soils of Tiber River (Central Italy): integrating data from calibrated PR2/6 probe and hydraulic property estimator

Acque Sotterranee, 2022
The correct estimation of soil moisture data is essential in soil-water management and estimating the hydraulic properties of unsaturated soils. The increased use of Multi-Sensor Capacitance Probes (MCAPs) requires careful calibration.

Hydrophobic eutectic solvent‐engineered membranes for highly permeable, selective, and antifouling pharmaceutical removal from municipal wastewater

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Single‐step incorporation of a hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent (HDES) into polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membranes via non‐solvent induced phase separation creates selective, antifouling membranes for pharmaceutical removal. The HDES nanodomains enhance permeability, electrostatic interactions, and adsorption affinity, enabling efficient and ...

Determination of the Unsaturated Hydraulic Parameters of Compacted Soil Under Varying Temperature Conditions

Geotechnics
Heat storage in compacted soil embankments is a promising technology in energy geotechnics, but its impact on the thermo-hydraulic behavior of unsaturated soils remains insufficiently understood. This paper investigates coupled heat and moisture transfer

Stability analysis of old reservoir bank landslide by considering spatial random field characteristics of unsaturated hydraulic conductivity

Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2023
If a reservoir bank landslide happenes in the history, the factor of safety of slope stability will approach the critical value 1.0, which cannot indicate the realistic stable situation of the reservoir bank slope.

Comparison of Algorithms and Parameterisations for Infiltration into Organic-Covered Permafrost Soils [PDF]

, 2010
Infiltration into frozen and unfrozen soils is critical in hydrology, controlling active layer soil water dynamics and influencing runoff. Few Land Surface Models (LSMs) and Hydrological Models (HMs) have been developed, adapted or tested for frozen ...

A modification of the mixed form of Richards equation and its application in vertically inhomogeneous soils [PDF]

, 2011
Recently, new soil data maps were developed, which include vertical soil properties like soil type. Implementing those into a multilayer Soil-Vegetation-Atmosphere-Transfer (SVAT) scheme, discontinuities in the water content occur at the interface ...

Unsaturated Hydraulic Conductivity of Fractal-Textured Soils [PDF]

, 2013
The increasing concern with groundwater pollution and contamination of soils has stimulated the development of numerous mathematical models of pollutant transport in soils. The most important approaches to model transient water and solute transport in the vadose zone are based on the Richards equation.

Soil Nail Design Optimization Through Adaptive Slope Stability Analysis Using Improved Limit Equilibrium Method

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Design optimization for automatically generating optimal design results is a promising technique for enhancing the efficiency of design processes and outcomes. However, its development for soil nail reinforced slopes is limited since the traditional slope stability analysis using the limit equilibrium method (LEM) becomes relatively time ...
