This paper explains the procedure and results of electro osmosis treatment of a dispersive soil. A number of cylindrical specimens of a dispersive soil were subjected to the electro osmosis effect and the subsequent cation changes in the soil, inlet water and outlet water were measured. The tests were carried out using distilled water and lime extract in anode. It was observed that with distill...

Linville Gorge Wilderness (LGW) is a Class I area in the southern Appalachian Mountains, western North Carolina. Over the last 150 years, LGW has been subject to several wildfires, varying in intensity and extent (Newell and Peet 1995). In November 2000, a wildfire burned 4000 ha in the wilderness; the fire ranged in severity across the northern portion of the wilderness from low severity in co...

Soil is one of the common materials used in construction industry whether it for groundwork, infrastructure or as building materials. However, issues arise when structures are built on soft soil such clay that causes instability and settlement. In order to improve strength, various methods had been adopted by researchers use stabilizers like lime, cement fly ash. This paper presents improvement...

Pineapples grown in acid soils containing high levels of manganese (Mn) can exhibit iron deficiency because Mn interferes with iron bio-functioning. This situation is commonly corrected with regular iron sprays. Soil Mn concentration can be reduced by liming, but pineapple growers keep the soil pH below 5.0 because it helps reduce the incidence of rots caused by Phytophthora sp. This study was ...

zygophyllum atriplicoides is one of the most important rangeland plants that often seen as associated species and rarely seen as the dominant species in ranglands rangelands which is very critical for soil  in starting and ending points of each transect. measured soil properties (included gravel, texture, organic matter, lime, ph and electrical conductivity) and physiography (elevation and slop...

The Jamshoro soil is a weak and expansive soil. construction of infrastructure on such soils has resulted severe damages huge maintenance costs. Thus, it needs treatment to enhance its geotechnical properties. This research work investigates the effects chemical stabilizers as lime, fly ash, silica fume compaction consolidation characteristics Jamshoro. were added individually in different prop...

In our study we showed the importance of holistic approach to evaluation of chemical stabilization using phosphate amendments, where all aspects of chemical treatments were observed. An extensive evaluation of metal stabilization in contaminated soil and an evaluation of the leaching of phosphorus induced after treatment were performed. The soil from the former zinc smelter area in the Celje re...
