The Role of Material Structure in Compacted Earthen Building Materials: Implications for Design and Construction [PDF]
, 2011 Rammed earth is an earthen construction material and an ancient construction technique. It is formed by compacting layers of moist sandy loam subsoil into formwork which is then removed, exposing the material and creating a freestanding, monolithic ...

A state-dependent parameterization of saturated-unsaturated zone interaction
, 2008 The relevance of groundwater as an important source of root zone moisture by means of capillary rise is increasingly being recognized. This is partly reflected in many current land surface schemes, which increasingly replace a one-way (i.e., downward ...

Using a linked soil model emulator and unsaturated zone leaching model to account for preferential flow when assessing the spatially distributed risk of pesticide leaching to groundwater in England and Wales [PDF]
, 2004 Although macropore flow is recognized as an important process for the transport of pesticides through a wide range of soils, none of the existing spatially distributed methods for assessing the risk of pesticide leaching to groundwater account for ...

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Climate change is making water availability more uncertain, with growing consequences for the productivity and long‐term sustainability of tropical and subtropical fruit orchards. Mangifera indica L. and Persea americana Mill. both require large amounts of water to sustain growth and productivity.

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.Common‐mode rejection (CMR) is introduced as a physics‐motivated preprocessing method for shifted excitation Raman difference spectroscopy (SERDS) that removes the shared background of paired measurements while preserving the noncommon excitation‐dependent component. Applied to more than 900 North American soil samples, CMR improves soil organic carbon

Direct Shear Test of Unsaturated Soil [PDF]
, 2017 The present study focuses on some tentative laboratory tests using a newly-constructed modified direct shear test apparatus. The single-stage and multistage direct shear tests were performed to determine the shear rate and test scheme of unsaturated ...
