Density-dependent solute transport in a layered hyporheic zone

David Andrew Barry, Mohsen Cheraghi, Qihao Jiang, Jing Xu

Hyporheic exchange is affected by bedform geometry, which induces complex flow paths within the bedform. Additional factors that influence flow and solute transport in the hyporheic zone are layered profile sediments and density-driven flow. This study exp ...

Long-term effects of crop succession, soil tillage and climate on wheat yield and soil properties

Mathieu Raymond Santonja, María Paula Sanginés De Cárcer

Climate change is increasing crop losses and yield variability with impacts for global food security. In this context, conservation agriculture appears as a potential solution to maintain crop productivity, soil fertility and environmental sustainability. ...

Reduction of a Cone-Shaped Terrain Grounding Resistance by Remote Grounding

Marcos Rubinstein, Antonio Sunjerga, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri

Tall structures such as wind turbines and mobile phone base stations are often installed in remote and hilly locations to gain more power or to have line of sight to end users. Those locations are usually very rocky and characterized by a low-conductivity ...

On the Soil-Structure Interaction of Surface Strip Footings at Ultimate Limit State

Lyesse Laloui, Cristiano Garbellini

Theoretical methods for estimating the bearing capacity of surface strip footings usually do not consider soil-structure interaction. A few publications deal with the subject, but all of these either do not apply rigorous methods or do not consider the gen ...

Effect of Dispersive Soil on the Electromagnetic Response of Buried Wires in the UHF Range

In this paper, we analyze the effect of the soil on the induced current in a buried wire excited by an external field in the ultrahigh frequency range. We use an extended version of the Messier model, which provides the electromagnetic (EM) properties of d ...

Coupling X-ray computed tomography and freeze-coring for the analysis of fine-grained low-cohesive soils

Claire Guenat, Pascal Turberg, Adrien Francis Olivier Liernur, Andreas Cedric Schomburg, Renée-Claire Le Bayon

This paper presents the coupling of freeze-core sampling with X-ray CT scanning for the analysis of the soil structure of fine-grained, low-cohesive soils. We used a medical scanner to image the 3D soil structure of the frozen soil cores, providing X-ray C ...

Integrating geo-biodiversity features in the analysis of landscape patterns

Alexandre Buttler, Alexander Ludwig Johannes Peringer, Ioana Stoicescu

Spatial patterns are deeply linked to ecological processes and this relationship lies at the core of landscape ecology. In turn, landscape patterns are influenced by physical, biological and anthropogenic factors. The aim of this study was to explore how s ...

Simulating the influence of snow surface processes on soil moisture dynamics and streamflow generation in an alpine catchment

Michael Lehning, Nander Wever, Francesco Comola, Mathias Thierry Pierre Bavay

The assessment of flood risks in alpine, snow-covered catchments requires an understanding of the linkage between the snow cover, soil and discharge in the stream network. Here, we apply the comprehensive, distributed model Alpine3D to investigate the role ...

Effect of Microbially Induced Calcite Precipitation on soil thermal conductivity

Lyesse Laloui, Dimitrios Terzis, Sara Venuleo

Energy piles efficiency is strongly affected by soil saturation conditions: low water contents considerably decrease their performance thus limiting the possibility to extend their application in arid environments. This paper investigates the MICP (Microbi ...

Contribution to the design methodologies of piled raft foundations under combined loadings

Lyesse Laloui

Although simplified methods have been proposed to allow for group effect and soil-pile-raft interaction, most of them are concentrated on one type of loading rendering the applicability of these methods rather limited to cases under such loads. In the case ...
