Effect of particle-size distribution on wind erosion rate and soil erodibility
Archives of Agronomy and Soil Science, 2013 Wind erosion is a serious problem, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. This study was conducted to assess the effects of wind speed as well as soil particle-size distribution on erosion rate (ER) using a wind tunnel. For this purpose, two clay loam soil samples (C2 and C10) in addition to a sandy clay loam (S2) were exposed to different wind ...

Soil erosion rates from mixed soil and gravel surfaces in a wind tunnel [PDF]
, 1990 Protective barriers have been identified as integral components of plans to isolate defense waste on the Hanford Site. The use of natural materials to construct protective barriers over waste site is being considered. Design requirements for protective barriers include preventing exposure of buried waste, and restricting penetration or percolation of ...

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2021 Wind erosion to the grooved concrete wall surface under a wind-blown sand movement was numerically studied. Particularly, the influencing factors that affect the wind erosion to the grooved concrete wall surface were systematically investigated by using ...

Measuring the Wind Pressure on the Soil Surface of the Deserted Agricultural Lands and the Soils of Sand Dunes in the Western Part of Nineveh Governorate [PDF]
مجلة جامعة الأنبار للعلوم الإنسانية, 2020 The wind pressure applied to the surface of the soil is closely related to the climatic data prevailing in the region such as high temperature, solar brightness, relative humidity during the summer months which contribute to increasing the evaporation ...

Study and evaluation method of concrete erosion under a wind–sand flow load
Case Studies in Construction MaterialsMany concrete buildings and infrastructures in sandstorm areas are subjected to years of sand and wind erosion. Wind erosion will damage the concrete, affect the structure durability, and even affect the safety of the structure in severe cases.

Spatial and Temporal Variability of Soil Erosion in Northeast China from 2000 to 2020
Remote Sensing, 2022 Northeast China is a prominent base for commercial grain production nationwide. Soil erosion, a primary cause of land degradation and grain yield decrease, has become an imminent issue and is still not well documented in Northeast China.

Soil erosion rates caused by wind and saltating sand stresses in a wind tunnel [PDF]
, 1993 Wind erosion tests were performed in a wind tunnel in support of the development of long-term protective barriers to cap stabilized waste sites at the Hanford Site. Controlled wind and saltating sand erosive stresses were applied to physical models of barrier surface layers to simulate worst-case eolian erosive stresses.

Estimation of wind erosion rates of Mongolian Plateau by using 137Cs tracing technique
Annals of Warsaw University of Life Sciences - SGGW. Land Reclamation, 2010 Estimation of wind erosion rates of Mongolian Plateau by using 137Cs tracing technique Wind erosion is one of the major environmental problems in semi-arid and arid regions. Here we established a transect from northwest (Tariat, Mongolia) to southeast (Xilingol, Inner Mongolia of China) across the Mongolian Plateau, and selected eight sampling ...
