Olive oil is concentrated in the Mediterranean basin countries. Since the olive oil industries are incriminated for a high quantity of pollution, it has become imperative to solve this problem by developing optimized systems for the treatment of olive oil wastes. This study proposes a solution to the problem. Burned olive waste ash is evaluated for using it as clay stabilizer. In a laboratory, ...

The Fall cone liquid limit testing procedure for low plasticity soil mixtures with sand, including the sample preparation and implementation of plastic determination suggestions are covered within this research. A apparatus was used in order to determine limits types, which Casagrande cup thread rolling methods proved inapplicable. Several issues addressed concerning standardized mixture fillin...

In this research, behaviour of clayey soils under triaxial loading is studied using Neural Network. The models have been prepared to predict the stress-strain behaviour of remolded clays under undrained condition. The advantage of the model developed is that simple parameters such as physical characteristics of soils like water content, fine content, Atterberg limits and so on, are used to mode...

Correlations between compression index and atterberg limits found in the literature are very important for preliminary estimation. These equations usually interpreted based on R-square parameter classified according to conditions of data (disturbed, undisturbed, remoulded, etc.). Although correlations reliable enough eliminate oedometer tests not yet fully available, these can be useful local c...

Machine traffic and timber skidding significantly affect the soil surface and soil properties. The effects are mostly negative and result in soil erosion, worsening of soil properties and inhibition of the growth of roots and soil organisms. In this study, we evaluated forest soil damage caused by the HSM 805 HD wheeled skidder during timber skidding in selected forest stands in the School Fore...

The present research was conducted to assess the effects of vermicompost (VC) treatments under different soil moisture contents on consistency limits sandy-clay-loam (SCL) soils in which lettuce (Lactuca sativa var. crispa) cultivated a greenhouse. Liquid limit (LL), plastic (PL), plasticity index (PI), (Ic) and clay activity (A) values were investigated. Three VC doses (0, 2.5 5% w/w) applied ...

This study investigates the effect of cement on the performance of soil, collected from Khanjahan Ali Hall at Khulna University of Engineering & Technology (KUET) in Khulna, Bangladesh. The addition of cement was found to improve the engineering properties of available soil in stabilized forms specifically strength, workability, and compaction and compressibility characteristics. Therefore, lab...

In this study, biochar-amended soil cover was investigated to enhance reduction of CH4 emissions from landfills. This paper presents physical and chemical characteristics of biochar-amended soils. Specifically, moisture content, organic content, ash content, pH, particle size distribution, Atterberg limits, specific gravity, and permeability tests were conducted with biochar alone, soil alone, ...
