In the ongoing research, an approximate, grading entropy based, advanced interpolation method is applied to establish empirical functions between curves and model parameters of sands. The space grain size distribution with N fractions isomorphic unit-sided simplex dimension -1. traditional over -1 problematic since number sub-simplexes (and points) may increase exponentially . To overcome this ...

The increasing salinization and sodification of soils in drylands irrigated systems present a great challenge to agricultural production threaten soil quality. There is an urgent need investigate potential strategies remediate that are threatened by these processes. To address this challenge, the current study investigated effects organic inorganic amendments leaching fraction (LF) on physical ...

Soil treated with silicone hydrophobic material for a long time can effectively improve the saturated permeability of ground, which has been confirmed. However, will increase cost in engineering construction. Secondly, mechanism alteration soil–water properties by materials is not understood. This lack understanding conducive to application materials. Therefore, variable-head and matrix suction...

Heat transfer within the soil is a complex process in presence of seepage flow. In such conditions, soil’s thermal behavior influenced by and hydraulic properties medium as well initial conditions boundary to which subjected. This paper presents experimental numerical studies heat sand subjected It focuses on influence saturated conductivity porosity process. The temperature distribution was mo...

Devices that simultaneously facilitate controlling suction and applying a net stress on soil specimen provide soil–water characteristic curves (SWCCs) in terms of both the water content degree saturation, volumetric deformations at various applied suctions. Such tests determine specimens based measured volume changes However, studies have shown disagreements between volume–based calculated actu...

A 45 m section of a railway embankment located at Fort Saskatchewan County in Alberta, Canada, was remediated as part the Canadian Pacific Railway’s (CP) Grade Stabilization/Remediation Plan. The materials were replaced while 4.6 wide reinforcing geotextile (Mirafi® RS580i) and 7.3 wicking H2Ri) installed ballast sub-ballast interface between subgrade sub-ballast, respectively, aiming to addres...

The soil–water characteristic curve is an important tool to evaluate the water-holding capacity of unsaturated soil. Plant roots can affect matric suction soil and permeability Therefore, morphological characteristics plant will lead difference in between slope plant-covered slope. This study aims investigate effect Vetiver root morphology on curves hydrological distribution root–soil system wa...

On the basis of the “space of flows” theory, city networks emphasizing factor connectivity and spatial connection have become a core perspective for regional spatial relationships. They provide a context for discussing the spatial structures of city networks and a scientific basis for making regional development policies. Relying on expressway traffic flow data from Jiangsu Province in 2014, th...

Exploring the water retention properties of unsaturated soil from perspective a liquid bridge has been popular issue in recent years. This study first measures soil–water characteristic curves (SWCCs) granular specimens to determine influence particle size on matric suction macroscopic perspective. Then, internal mechanism and volumetric content is analyzed mesoscopic by using Young–Laplace (Y–...

Unfrozen water content is a significant hydro-thermal property in numerical modeling cold regions. Although numerous models have been developed to mimic the variation of unfrozen with subzero temperature, comprehensive evaluation scarce. This study collected total 29 and divided them into four categories, namely, theoretical models, soil characteristic curve (SWCC)-based empirical estimation mo...
