Spatial Variation of Soil Properties: Foundation Design Challenges

Spatial Correlation of Mechanical Properties of subgrade Soil for Foundation Characterization

the effect of tillage management on spatial variation of some soil properties in steep lands

to study the effects of scale and tillage management on variability of soil properties in adjacent lands of different tillage type, soil sampling was performed linearly along contour line from the middle position of slope with 5 m intervals. in overall, 45 soil samples were collected from a field with conventional up-down tillage and 40 samples from an adjacent filed with contour tillage. soil ...

Spatial variability of magnetic soil properties

The presence of magnetic iron oxides in the soil can seriously hamper the performance of electromagnetic sensors for the detection of buried land mines and unexploded ordnance (UXO). Previous work has shown that spatial variability in soil water content and texture affects the performance of ground penetrating radar and thermal sensors for land mine detection. In this paper we aim to study the ...

Assessment of soil property spatial variation based on the geostatistical simulation

The main objective in the present study was to assess the spatial variation of chemical and physical soil properties and then use this information to select an appropriate area to install a pasture rehabilitation experiment in the Zereshkin region, Iran. A regular 250 m grid was used for collecting a total of 150 soil samples (from 985 georeferenced soil pits) at 0 to 30, and 30 to 60 cm layers...
