Soil embankments are valuable for the adequate reserve and supply of water to multiple industries. However, they susceptible internal soil erosion, which may ultimately lead structural collapse. To counteract this issue, stabilization is practiced in construction industry. This paper proposes erosion cohesionless using quicklime. For research, two types were investigated treated with quicklime:...

ABSTRACT Loss of water stable aggregates due to excessive tillage has increased the potential for soil erosion in semiarid farming-systems. Fungi can be responsible for the resistance of soil aggregates to brea...

The biogeochemical fate of organic matter (OM) entering soils is an important issue that must be examined to better understand its roles in nitrogen cycling and as a natural modulator of soil-atmospheric carbon fluxes. Despite these critical roles, there are uncertainties in estimating the contribution of this feedback mechanism due in part to a lack of molecular-level information regarding the...

The weakly coupled vacuum of E8⊗E8 heterotic string theory remains an attractive scenario for particle physics. The particle spectrum and the issue of dilaton stabilization are reviewed. A specific model for hidden sector condensation and supersymmetry breaking, that respects known constraints from string theory, is described, and its phenomenological and cosmological implications are discussed...

The weakly coupled vacuum of E8⊗E8 heterotic string theory remains a promising candidate for the underlying theory of the Standard Model. The particle spectrum and the issue of dilaton stabilization are reviewed. Specific models for hidden sector condensation and supersymmetry breaking are described and their phenomenological and cosmological implications are discussed. Talk presented at Sugra2...

With the growing population and density in metropolitan areas, higher tendency to live in high-rise buildings, and increasing demand for parking lots, it seems necessary to excavate soil to construct underground spaces. During excavation work, as the height of the wall increases, special care should be taken to the wall stabilization to avoid any consequent damage including extensive property d...

One of the key challenges geotechnical engineers face is failure embankments due to internal soil erosion. Therefore, stabilization against erosion becomes necessary prevent embankment failure. This paper aims use lime stabilize sandy Two types (poorly graded and well-graded) were treated with different percentages (based on dry weight soil) curing times (1 day, 2 days, 7 days). For poorly soil...
