this paper highlights the effect of silt content on cone tip resistance in loose silty sand. in this study, twenty-seven cone penetration tests are performed in saturated silty sand samples with several different silt contents ranging from 10 to 50 percent. the samples are consolidated at three overburden stresses including 100, 200 and 300 kpa. it is shown that, as the silt content increases, ...

Heat flow controls the design and operation of a wide range engineered geosystems. This study uses transient thermal probe measurements to determine evolution conductivity air-dry water-saturated sand–silt mixtures as function effective stress. Results confirm that soils varies with state stress, dry mass density, mineralogy, pore fluid properties highlight effect contact resistance on granular...

An experiment was conducted to study the effects of different soil media on seed germination and seedling growth of peach during 2001 and 2002 in Orakzai Agency. Different soil media alone and in combination used for seed germination of peach were Farm Yard Manure, Saw dust, Canal silt, FYM + Sawdust, FYM + Canal silt, Sawdust + Silt and FYM + Sawdust +Silt. Different media showed non significa...

this thesis looked at the effect of clay and silt soil blocking the heat transfer area of the radiator and its effect on the engine coolant through the conduct of experiments and a mathematical model developed. the results indicated that the percentage area covered resulted in a proportional increase of the inlet and outlet temperatures of the coolant in the radiator. the mathematically model d...
