Seasonal changes in pore water pressure in a grass-covered cut slope in London Clay
In temperate European climates, the season of peak water demand by vegetation (summer) is out of phase with the season of greatest rainfall (winter). This results in seasonal fluctuations in soil water content and, in clay soils, associated problems of shrinking and swelling that can in turn contribute to strain-softening and progressive slope failure. This paper presents field measurements of ...
متن کاملpore water pressures in three dimensional slope stability analysis
although some 3d slope stability algorithms have been proposed in recent three decades, still role of pore pressures in three dimensional slope stability analyses and considering the effects of pore water pressure in 3d slope stability studies needs to be investigated. in this paper, a limit analysis formulation for investigation of role of the pore water pressure in three dimensional slope sta...
متن کاملSeasonal variation on radon emission from soil and water
Radon is being measured continuously in spring water and soil-gas at Badshahi Thaul Campus, Tehri Garhwal in Himalayan region by using radon Emanometer since December 2002. An effort was made to correlate the variance of radon concentrations in spring water and soil-gas with meteorological parameters at the same location. The main meteorological parameters that affect the radon emanation from h...
متن کاملSeasonal slope surface deformation measured with TLS
In temperate European climates, soil water removal due to vegetation transpiration peaks in summer and soil rewetting from higher levels of precipitation occurs in winter. In clays of high plasticity, the seasonal cycles of drying and wetting cause the soil to experience a volumetric change, resulting in seasonal shrinking and swelling. For a clay slope exhibiting volume change, such behaviour ...
متن کاملSoybean and Soybean Cyst Nematode Response to Soil Water Content in Loam and Clay Soils
Soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines Ichinohe) (SCN) a major pest of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] in the southeastern USA. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of wet and dry silt loam and clay soils on SCN development and corresponding soybean yield response in a greenhouse study. ’Tracy-M’ soybean was grown in pots that contained either Dubbs ilt loam (fine-silty,...
