چکیده

expansive soils can be found in many parts of the world particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. these soilspose a significant hazard to civil engineering structures due to its high swelling and shrinkage potential. this paperpresents the results of an experimental program developed to investigate the effect of cyclic drying and wetting on theswelling potential of expansive soils with various pore water qualities. soil samples were prepared by staticcompaction with distilled and saline pore water solutions consisting of sodium chloride (nacl) with 50 and 250 g/lconcentrations. soil samples were subjected to drying and wetting cycles using a modified oedometer apparatus,under a surcharge pressure of 10 kpa. axial deformations caused by drying and wetting during various cycles weremeasured until shrink-swell equilibrium condition was attained. the results indicated that conducting consecutivedrying and wetting causes a considerable reduction in the swelling potential of soil samples prepared with differentqualities of pore water. shrink-swell equilibrium in soil samples prepared with distilled water and 50 g/l naclsolution was achieved after 5 consecutive cycles while soil samples with 250 g/l nacl solution as pore water,reached equilibrium condition after approximately 3 or 4 cycles. furthermore, the overall swelling potential for soilsamples prepared with 250 g/l nacl solution was seen to be greater compared to distilled water and 50 g/l naclsolution respectively.

Potassium status of two clayey calcareous soils treated with zeolite under wetting-drying cycles

Zeolite application to clayey soils may change potassium (K) pools distribution and its release rate. To test this hypothesis, two heavy-textured calcareous soils with different mineralogy (smectitic and mixed by XRD) from southern Iran were selected. Experiment was a completely randomized factorial arrangement. Treatments consisted of two soils and two zeolite levels (0 and 5%) and wetting-dry...

اثر کیفیت آب بر ویژگی‌های تورمی یک خاک متورم شونده در چرخه‌های تر و خشک‌شدن متوالی

Expansive soils swell and shrink periodically when subjected to seasonal water content changes. As a result, they are a constant source of problem in the design and construction of foundations. In this study, the behaviour of an expansive soil was studied through a number of experiments involving cycles of wetting and drying using three different water qualities. Laboratory tests were performed...

Mineralization of Nitrogen in Soils Amended with Dairy Manure as Affected by Wetting/Drying Cycles

Interest in manure management and its effects on nitrogen (N) mineralization has increased in recent years. The focus of this research was to investigate the N-mineralization rates of different soil types in Coastal Plain soils and compare them to a soil from Illinois. Soils with and without dairy composted manure addition were subjected to different wetting/drying cycles [constant moisture at ...

Plant water uptake in drying soils.

Over the last decade, investigations on root water uptake have evolved toward a deeper integration of the soil and roots compartment properties, with the goal of improving our understanding of water acquisition from drying soils. This evolution parallels the increasing attention of agronomists to suboptimal crop production environments. Recent results have led to the description of root system ...
