This study explored reinforced concrete piles located in a flexible half-space and loaded with external loads, considering various contact elements the connection between pile ground massif. Piles are mainly solved as axially stressed by vertical force. However, there also several cases construction industry where is horizontal force or bending moment, producing pile. A static model of surround...

– Direct push video imaging maps buried prehistoric landscapes in soft geology. Subtle subsoil variability is detectable through a combination with CPT-E and EC logs. Validation remains crucial pending color calibration- hardware improvements.

[1] In 2000–2002, three rangeland and six irrigated sites were instrumented to assess the storage and transit time of chemicals in thick (15 to 50 m) unsaturated zones (UZ) in the High Plains. These processes are likely to influence relations between land use and groundwater quality, yet they have not been documented systematically in the High Plains. Land use and climate were important control...

Stepped block protection has considerable potential as a low-cost method for the construction of chute spillways and the protection of embankments from erosion by overtopping flow. Stepped spillways are structurally stable, resistant to water loads and significantly increase the rate of energy dissipation on the spillway face thus eliminating or greatly reducing the need for a large energy diss...

This study examined the effects of soil physicochemical properties (including heavy metal pollution) and vegetation parameters on soil basal respiration, microbial biomass, and the activity and functional richness of culturable soil bacteria and fungi. In a zinc and lead mining area (S Poland), 49 sites were selected to represent all common plant communities and comprise the area's diverse soil...

General.?Barwadih, a railway settlement on the Gomoh-Sone East Bank branch of East Indian Railway, is 18 miles south-west of Daltonganj. It is situated 348 miles west of Calcutta in the hilly tracts of the Ranclii plateau in the Palamau district of Bihar province. The range of hills to the south of the colony is a branch of the Vindhyas. Physical geography and meteorological data. ?Latitude 23....

Controlled-source electromagnetics (CSEM) is an active geophysical technique sensitive to the electrical resistivity of the subsoil, with the peculiarity that the source producing the electromagnetic signal is a man-made device. It has been largely applied for offshore environments in hydrocarbon exploration due to the good penetration depth and resolution, although its application onshore is s...

Promoting cropland carbon (C) sequestration through straw return has always been the focus of numerous studies. However, there is still a lack comprehensive understanding effects on soil organic (SOC) and inorganic (SIC) sequestration. Therefore, present study aims to investigate long-term SOC SIC across 0–100 cm profile in maize planting Northeastern China. The results showed an increasing tre...

Soil organic matter (SOM) is a fundamental resource to humanity for the many ecosystem services it provides. Increasing its stocks can significantly contribute climate change mitigation and sustainability of agricultural production. Elucidating mechanisms drivers formation main components SOM, particulate (POM) mineral associated (MAOM) matter, from decomposition plant inputs therefore critical...

This article presents the characteristics of heaps resulting from coal exploitation in terms possibility their development for industrial facilities. The chances soil improvement and existing threats were indicated, emphasising risk self-ignition. most effective technologies are dynamic or impulse compaction, which allows deep obtaining an appropriately rigid load-bearing subsoil. homogeneity s...
