Gravitational Equilibrium Moisture Profiles in Swelling Soils

Application of Seed Equilibrium Moisture Curves in Agro Physics

The water relations play a fundamental role in seed comprehension of biology. In order to describe the process of drying and the effect on water activity, which controls biological change in storage, a sound knowledge of the relationship between equilibrium moisture content (EMC) and water activity/equilibrium relative humidity (ERH) is essential. The relationship between the total moisture con...

Parameters of these models are often determined in a way that t...

Relation between swelling and erodibility of cohesive soils

Swelling Characteristics of Compacted, Expansive Soils

Abstraet-The limitations of existing methods for the prediction of swelling behavior of compacted softs are examined. Both the purely theoretical approach and the purely empirical approach are found to be inadequate. The present study is based on a semi-empirical approach in which a model of swelling behavior is developed leading to equations relating swelling potential or swelling pressure of ...
