Hydrophobic and mechanical enhancement of silica sand treated with tung oil

Canadian geotechnical journal (Print)
This study investigated the hydrophobic and mechanical enhancement of silica sands treated with tung oil, a natural hydrophobic stabilizer, for road embankment applications. Through laboratory testing including apparent contact angle (ACA) and water drop

Influence of water repellency on granite residual soil

World Journal of Engineering
This study explores the use of octadecylamine (ODA) as a surface modifier to treat granite residual soil, aiming to enhance its water repellency and address the threat to engineering safety posed by the soil’s water sensitivity. In this study,

The Dropbot: Design and Development of a Custom Drone for Precision Water Drop Penetration Time (WDPT) Testing

Assessing the hydrophobic characteristics of soil is vital for understanding soil wettability or soil-water interactions, particularly in post-wildfire environments where water repellency can significantly impact ecosystem recovery, water infiltration, and erosion control.
