Tillage studies have shown that maximum, tillage-induced, aggregate breakdown occurs near the optimum water content on a Proctor compaction curve for the soil. Many soil databases do not contain Proctor data; therefore, prediction equations were developed to estimate the optimum water content, peak Proctor dry bulk density, and the Proctor compaction curve for a soil based on common intrinsic p...

The present study is to elucidate and efficacy of Ultra-fine slag Calcium Chloride in improving the Engineering characteristics expansive soil. An experimental program has evaluated effects 3%, 6%, 9% CaCl2 0.25%, 0.5%,  1.0%, Free swell index, swelling potential, pressure, plasticity, compaction, strength, hydraulic conductivity, Cation Exchange Capacity microstructural XRD, SEM tests soil als...

The design of high-speed railway lines involves geotechnical challenges, one which is the risk dynamic track amplification, for example on sections where train speed approaches track-ground critical speed. In these cases, soil strains increase significantly with an in speed, far exceeding limits linear elastic behaviour. This can result a non-linear reduction stiffness. To better understand thi...

influence of soil organic matter (som) on the adsorption, desorption and transport of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) has already been given full investigation in soils. in this paper, confocal laser scanning microscope (clsm) was used to elucidate aqueous leaching of pahs in different types of soil with soil columns, which enhanced understanding on transport of pahs appreciably. four t...

soil texture is an important soil physical property that governs most physical, chemical, biological, and hydrological processes in soils. detailed information on soil texture variability is crucial for proper crop and land management and environmental studies. therefore, at present research, 103 soil profiles were dogged and then sampled in order to prepare digital map of soil texture in bijar...

rainfall erosion processes a long with the rainfall characteristics can be affected by soil properties. the study was conducted to investigate the susceptibility of the aggregates in different soil textures to the rainfall erosion processes. the experiment was done on thirty soil samples recognized in four soil textures with different replications as the completely randomized design. ninety box...
