Aspects of Mechanical Behavior and Modeling of a Tropical Unsaturated Soil
(2013-10-01)
The research studies the applicability of two elastoplastic models for the collapse prediction of the lateritic soil profile from Southeastern Brazil. These tropical soils have peculiar geotechnical behavior, due to their ...
CATALYTIC POTENTIAL OF SOIL HYDROLASES IN NORTHEAST CHINA UNDER DIFFERENT SOIL MOISTURE CONDITIONS
(Sociedad Chilena de la Ciencia del Suelo, 2009)
Evolution of the mechanical properties of a tropical soil stabilized with lime and ash of rice rind
(2010-05-01)
The ash of rice rind is a pozzolanic material that reacts with the calcium hydroxide (Ca (OH)2) forming bonding composites, when finely worn out and in water presence. Considering this behavior, the objective of the present ...
Shear strength of a natural and compacted tropical soil
(2015)
Tropical soils have peculiar characteristics and behavior due to its geology and soil-forming processes typical of tropical regions. Besides the mineralogical composition and complex structures, long periods of rainy and ...
Shear strength of a natural and compacted tropical soil
(2015-01-01)
Tropical soils have peculiar characteristics and behavior due to its geology and soil-forming processes typical of tropical regions. Besides the mineralogical composition and complex structures, long periods of rainy and ...
The Flat Dilatometer Test in an Unsaturated Tropical Soil Site
(2021-01-01)
The site characterization of unsaturated soils is well stablished based on laboratory tests, which are expensive and time-consuming. In-situ testing methods, such as the flat dilatometer test (DMT), are an alternative to ...
Soil phosphorus extracted by Bray 1 and Mehlich 3 soil tests as affected by the soil/solution ratio in Mollisols
(Taylor, 2011-01)
Different relationships between soil-test methods results have been reported in several agricultural regions. Differences in the same soil-test procedure (e.g., soil/solution ratio) exist between soil-testing laboratories ...
Settlement of Footings on Compacted and Natural Collapsible Soils upon Loading and Soaking
(2021-04-01)
Collapsible unsaturated soils experience large volumetric compressive deformations upon wetting. Soil collapse is a geotechnical problem that occurs in different regions of the world and profoundly impacts buildings and ...
Seasonal influence on cone penetration test: An unsaturated soil site example
(Science Press, 2019-04-01)
Interpretation of electric cone penetration test (CPT) based pore water pressure measurement (CPTu) is well established for soils with behavior that follows classical soil mechanics. The literature on the interpretation ...
Clastogenicity of landfarming soil treated with sugar cane vinasse
(2013-02-01)
The addition of nutrients and/or soil bulking agents is used in bioremediation to increase microbial activity in contaminated soils. For this purpose, some studies have assessed the effectiveness of vinasse in the ...
