this paper describes the results of a study which was primarily directed to the determination of geotechnical properties of fine and coarse grain soils stabilized by lime obtained from taleghan, northwest of tehran to assess its suitability as construction material. soils were treated with lime mixtures in various portions between 3 to 9 percents by weight. the samples were cured for different ...

the objective of this research was to study the relationships between edaphic and topographic factors with distribution of plant species. for this purpose, current study was conducted in eshtehard rangelands of tehran province. the sampling method was randomized–systematic and in each sampling unit, three parallel transects with 750 m length containing 45 quadrates (according to vegetation vari...

This study aimed at evaluating the effect of blended binders on stabilization clayey soils intended for use as road and pavement materials in selected regions Sweden. The potential containing five stabilizers (cement, bio fly ash, energy slag lime) was investigated using laboratory tests statistical analysis. Soil samples were compacted Swedish Standards UCS. specimens stabilized with mixtures ...

In this study influence of land-use type on soil respiration was investigated in poplar plantation, apple orchard (apple trees with understory grasses) and adjacent grassland sites in Seyitler Area, Artvin, Turkey. Soil respiration was measured approximately monthly in three sampling plots in each land use type from January 2005 to November 2005 using the soda-lime technique. Mean daily soil re...

The consequences of previous as well as current environmental conditions and management practices on the potential for phosphorus (P) to be lost by drainage from sandy soils in the short term (< I year) were studied in the laboratory and the field. The potential for P losses by drainage was estimated by measuring soil solution P levels and rapidly released P. Rapidly released P was measured by ...

Land use change as the most important destructive factor in natural ecosystems is a globally problem that changes soil properties. Therefore, correct management and recognition of change aspects on each component of the ecosystem is necessary. This process causes land destruction, ecosystem instability, soil erosion, and more biological threats. Due to increasing land use conversion from rangel...

Results of laboratory tests on specimens produced from subsoil studies were evaluated tocharacterize geotechnical properties of Tabriz Marl. It was concluded that, Tabriz Marl may be considered as a high liquid limit silt or clay (MH & CH). Range of changes of index, physical and mechanical properties of the Tabriz Marl are comparatively vast. Correlation between these properties has been intro...

Chemical amendment of dairy cattle slurry has been shown to effectively reduce incidental phosphorus (P) losses in runoff; however, the effects of amendments on incidental nitrogen (N) losses are not as well documented. This study examined P and N losses in runoff during three simulated rainfall events 2, 10 and 28 days after a single application of unamended/chemically amended dairy cattle slu...

Lime treatment is a widely applied technique in improving the workability and geotechnical properties of soil. The water retention property microstructure are highly related to hydro-mechanical behaviour unsaturated lime-treated In this study, evolution pore size distribution (PSD) along curves (during drying) were studied for soil, with emphasis put on curing time salinity effects. Two soil po...
