Seepage Characteristics and Failure Prediction during the Complete Stress–Strain Process of Limestone under High Water Pressure

Applied Sciences, 2022
The seepage characteristics during the complete stress–strain process of limestone under high water pressure were simulated via an experimental study of limestone post-peak penetrating behavior, and an approach to predict the formation of the seepage ...

Critical conditions for the wetting of soils [PDF]

, 2006
The wettability of soil is of great importance for plants and soil biota and in determining whether flooding and soil erosion will occur. The analysis used in common measurements of soil hydrophobicity makes the assumption that water always enters soils ...

Comparison of Water-Repellent Detection Agents and Evaluation System Optimization of Soil Water-Repelling Rate

Advances in Civil Engineering
The determination and evaluation of severity rating of soil is an important part of the research on the engineering properties of water-repellent soil. It is still difficult to accurately obtain the soil water-repelling rate in essence, and there are a ...

The water repellency of earthworm (Lumbricus terrestris) casts depends on their particle size composition, organic carbon content and calcium carbonate content

Soil and Water Research
At the soil level, earthworms are key indicators of water-related processes which help soils to accept, retain, release and transmit water by influencing the soil structure through their burrowing, casts, and drilosphere.
