Bentonite mixed soil, which is a mixture of bentonite with sand and gravel, can be easily compacted by adjusting the blending degree, it difficult for water to pass through exhibits low permeability. It widely used at construction sites because on-site has good workability. Examples its use include impermeable layers waste disposal measures contain heavy metals from rocks generated sites. The m...

soil moisture retention curve (smrc) is an important soil property which expresses reaction between matric potential and moisture of soil. direct measurement of soil matric potential and moisture is labour- and time-consuming. in order to prevail this problem, indirect methods are used for smrc prediction. pedotransfer functions (ptfs) are one of these indirect methods. this study was carried o...

In many regions in China there is a wide distribution of dead-weight collapsible loess that experience frequent disasters resulting in enormous losses to national property. Loess collapsibility is the leading cause of disasters in loess areas. Many international scholars are working collaboratively to avoid property losses and human casualties caused by the collapsible loess. Loess collapsibili...

This paper introduces the concept of using an existing low-volume road design method to lower granular layers within a mechanistic-empirical ensure adequate construction platform. The DCP-DN was chosen because it has advantages over other cover-based empirical methods in this context, including utilizing full-depth measurement and requiring balanced layer profile. To implement use field Dynamic...
