The water factor in harvest-sprouting of hard red spring wheat [PDF]

Sprouting in unthreshed, ripe, hard red spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is induced by rain, but sprouting does not necessarily occur because the crop is wetted.

Experimental Study on Determining Unsaturated Property of Soil [PDF]

, 1980
This paper deals with the experimental study of hydraulic properties of unsaturated soil. In treating unsaturated zone, a great deal more data are required than are required for the saturated zone, but these properties of soils must be known to apply the

Toward Low‐Consumable Anodes: Process Simulation and Prospective Life Cycle Assessment of NiFe2O4‐NiO‐Ni‐Cu vs. Prebaked Anodes for Aluminum Production with use of Molten Salt Electrolysis

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Low‐consumable nickel ferrite‐based anodes for the Hall–Héroult process are compared with conventional prebaked carbon anodes using thermodynamic simulation and prospective life cycle assessment under contrasting future electricity system pathways from 2025 to 2050.

Macro-micro tests of cohesive soil under varied normal and shear stresses subjected to drying-wetting cycles

Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
The mechanical behavior of cohesive soil is sensitized to drying-wetting cycles under confinements. However, the hydromechanical coupling effect has not been considered in current constitutive models.

Understanding and controlling the ingress of driven rain through exposed, solid wall masonry structures [PDF]

, 2014
Long term performance of historic buildings can be affected by many environmental factors, some of which become more apparent as the competence of the fabric deteriorates.

Interaction of Ladle Slag With Varying SiO2 Content and Recyclate‐Based MgO–C Refractories

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Ladle slags (CaO/Al2O3 = 1) with 1–20 wt% SiO2 were investigated in contact with industrial MgO–C refractories fabricated from fresh magnesia and 50 wt% recyclate. The sessile drop method at 1600°C reveals intensive gas formation, delayed slag infiltration in recyclate‐based samples, and, under high‐SiO2 slag, formation of a dense MgAl2O4‐rich ...

An elastoplastic model for unsaturated expansive soils based on shakedown concept [PDF]

, 2013
It is important to model the behaviour of unsaturated expansive soils subjected to hydromechanical loadings, because these wetting and drying cycles alter significantly their hydromechanical behaviour which may cause a huge differential settlement on the ...

Development of Sustainable MgO–C Refractories Using MgO–C Recyclates and a Novel Eco‐Friendly Fructose–Tannin Binder Crosslinked With Citric Acid

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study develops sustainable MgO–C refractories using recycled materials and eco‐friendly fructose–tannin binders. The enhanced performance of citric acid as a cross‐linker and functional additives on mechanical and thermomechanical properties was examined. Characterization included strength tests, immersion trials, and microstructural and inclusion

Deterioration mechanism of mechanical properties and microstructure in xanthan gum-reinforced soil under wetting-drying cycles based on CT scanning technology

Yantu gongcheng xuebao
The wetting-drying cycle has an important effect on the engineering properties of rock and soil. The CT scanning technology and testing methods for mechanical properties are used to study the deterioration mechanism of clay reinforced with xanthan gum ...

Field investigation of deformation characteristics and stress mobilisation of a soil slope [PDF]

, 2015
Stress mobilisation and deformation of a slope are important for engineers to carry out reliable design of retaining systems. However, most case histories reported mainly on the response of pore-water pressure (PWP), whereas knowledge about the stress ...
