Critical flow velocities in cohesive saline soils

A method for measuring the critical shear stress of cohesive soils

Title Pile Aging in Cohesive Soils

This technical note presents the results of a field investigation into pile aging in soft clay which was conducted over a period of ten years. Static load tests were conducted after the excess pore pressure generated by the installation of 6 m long driven concrete piles were fully equalised. These tests allowed the time-capacity aging profile to be established. A normalised capacity-time trend ...

The Effect of Oil Meal as a Micronutrient Fertilizer in Saline and Non-Saline Soils

A significant amount of the oil meal is produced annually in the oil industry. Oil meal addition into the soil can improve the soil organic matter and micronutrients concentration. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of olive, sesame and black cumin meal (0, 2 and 5 g 100g-1 soil) on the soil Cu, Zn and Fe concentration in saline and non-saline soils by a greenhouse experiment. T...

Relation between swelling and erodibility of cohesive soils

Phillipsite of Saline Lakes and Soils

Phillipsite has formecl from volcanic glass in saline, alkaline lakes both saturated and undersaturated with respect to gaylussite and trona. It has also formed from volcanic glass in saiine, alkaline soils of Olduvai Gorge, Tanganyika. Phillipsite occurs both as lath,shaped and as equant crystals, which are commonly zoned lvith refractive indices ranging between 1.438 and 1.490. Molecular SiOz...
