This study proposes a new advanced algorithm for determining material parameters based on in situ tests. In situ testing gives an opportunity to perform soil characterization in natural stress conditions on a representative soil mass. Most field techniques ...
To progress in the monitoring and understanding of soil water processes, geophysical methods can be helpful because they are non invasive and as such do not disturb either the structure or the water dynamics of the soil. In this study we attempt to image w ...
A minimalist stochastic model of primary soil salinity is proposed, in which the rate of soil salinization is determined by the balance between dry and wet salt deposition and the intermittent leaching events caused by rainfall events. The long term probab ...
The water content dynamics in the upper soil surface during evaporation is a key element in land–atmosphere exchanges. Previous experimental studies have suggested that the soil water content increases at the depth of 5 to 15 cm below the soil surface duri ...
Soil erosion affects agricultural productivity, the natural environment and infrastructure security. Soil loss and its associated impacts are important environmental problems. Consequently, model-based predictions of erosion are beneficial for a variety of ...
Process-based erosion modelling has proven to be an efficient tool for description and prediction of soil erosion and sediment transport. The one-dimensional Hairsine-Rose (HR) erosion model, which describes the time variation of suspended sediment concent ...
The powder-blasting method is used to fabricate structures with a three-dimensional topography in glass using elastomeric masks. The relation between the mask opening width and the erosion depth is exploited to fabricate microstructures with varying depth ...
The fate and transport of As was examined at an industrial site where soil- and groundwater contamination are derived from the application of As2O3 as a herbicide. Application of arsenical herbicides was discontinued in the 1970s and soils in the source ar ...
Presented here is a numerical investigation of the influence of non-uniform soil conditions on a prototype concrete bridge with three bents (four span) where soil beneath bridge bents are varied between stiff sands and soft clay. A series of high-fidelity ...
This paper presents the results of a two phase Euler-Euler simulation of seepage flow through granular media for upward flow conditions in soils. The simulation first deals with the fluidization process in a stable granular soil. The first fluidization in ...
