Abstract:

Uncontrolled growing of construction industry in Turkey has caused a large number of buildings were constructed without the benefit of sufficient engineering supervision. These phenomena have contributed to the increase in the number of seismically weak buildings. After the Great Marmara Earthquake seismic performances of the existing structures have been inspected and some of them fortified. In this context, an existing building foundation, built on a problematic soil and located in Denizli where is in high seismic risk area, has been strengthened by cement injection.

Abstract:

Under consideration are the calculation results obtained by means of the soil and agro-climatic index PAKI to estimate natural-anthropogenic positive and adverse effects on the soil fertility. The assessment of positive effects is exemplified by liming of soils in the southern taiga zone, whereas the assessment of adverse effects is considered with special reference to water erosion and soil washout in the forest-steppe and steppe zones. Such a methodological approach provides comparative spatially orientated information and allows assessing the soil quality rating scores for arable lands, thu

Abstract:

Many soils may be water repellent to some degree, challenging the common perception that soil water repellency is only an interesting aberration. When dry, water repellent soils resist or retard water infiltration into the soil matrix. Soil water repellency often leads to the development of unstable wetting and preferential flow paths. In the present study the persistence of water repellency was examined on samples from topsoils in Thrace, north-eastern Greece, using the Water Drop Penetration Time (WDPT) test. The soil samples were collected from agricultural fields throughout the prefectures

This study delves into the multifaceted impact of climate change on soils subjected to shifting cultivation practices. Our findings reveal a complex interplay of both beneficial and adverse effects on the physical, chemical, and biological attributes of soils. Moreover, climate change exacerbates these detrimental impacts by inducing significant alterations in soil characteristics. Specifically, our study underscores that shifting cultivation practices, particularly those employing short fallow cycles, can pose a considerable threat to soil health when subjected to changing climatic conditions

With the study of expansive soils typical channel slope fissured characters in the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, different impaction on slope stability such as location and inclination of the fissure are analyzed. By using the limit equilibrium method, the stability of expansive soil slope is analyzed; the most adverse condition of expansive soil slope is concluded. Then anti-slippery pile reinforcement in expansive soil channel slope

Abstract:

Soils are one of the most important, basic resources that is essential for the creation of a large number of goods and services that are an integral part of the ecosystem and human well-being. Soils, both actively used and others, provide ecosystems services which are important for regulating of the global climate and for large-scale regulation of various natural resources. About 33 % of global soil resources are degraded due to erosion, pollution, compaction, salinization, acidification, dehumidification and other adverse processes associated within appropriate management of ground water reso

Abstract. The ubiquitous accumulation of microplastic (MP) particles across all global ecosystems accompanies their uptake into soil food webs. In this review, we analyzed studies on passive translocation, active ingestion, bioaccumulation and adverse effects within the phylogenetic tree of multicellular soil faunal life. The representativity of these studies for natural soil ecosystems was assessed using data on the type of plastic, the shape, the composition, the concentration and the time of exposure. Available studies cover a wide range of soil organisms, with emphasis on earthworms, nemat

Abstract:

AbstractA greater awareness of the problems of land restoration to agriculture, and the additional powers of the 1981 Minerals Act, is resulting in a more scientific approach to land restoration. After considering the specifications required for an agricultural soil, sources of soil-forming material are considered. The importance is stressed of an investigation of surface soil resources prior to restoration, and preferably prior to excavation. By using the plastic limit as a threshold above which earthmoving should not proceed, soil damage can be reduced, but delays to site operations can be c

Abstract:

Growing crops in sabulous soil is challenging owing to limited oligotrophy and low water retention. Nonetheless, some plants adapt well, imparting favorable properties to the fruit. This study investigated the influence of sandy soil (southern Japan) on red pepper by assessing the levels of pungent components, antioxidant activity, and vascular endothelial function. Leaves and fruits of Habanero orange and Tabasco pepper, the two varieties most suitable for cultivation in sandy soil, were analyzed for size, color, and pungent component composition. Pungent components were detected in the seeds

Corrugated steel plate and surrounding soils are working together to share the load in buried corrugated steel structures. It is complicated to consider the structure-soil interaction, so the finite element method has already become the chief means of complicated structure analysis. Based on a practical project, considering structure-soil interaction, by using the finite element program of ANSYS, the paper set up a 2-D FE model and analyzed the soil pressure, the structural deformation and the internal force under different load conditions in detail. The analysis shows that structure-soil inte

Soil pollution caused by heavy metals from anthropogenic activities poses a significant environmental and health threat globally. Traditional remediation methods like solidification/stabilization have limitations, prompting the need for alternative techniques. Soil washing emerges as a promising approach, employing physical and chemical methods to effectively remove contaminants. This paper explores soil washing methods, focusing on sites contaminated with heavy metals such as zinc, lead, nickel, mercury, arsenic, copper, chromium, and cadmium, particularly influenced by military and industria

Abstract:

Reducing the mobility and bioavailability of heavy metals in soils by adding exogenous materials is a technology for remediating soils contaminated with heavy metals. Unlike industrial sites, the use of such techniques in agricultural soils requires consideration of not only reducing the mobility of heavy metals but also avoiding adverse effects on soil fertility and the growth of plants. Due to the uncertainty of the stability of amendments applied to agricultural soil, the application of amendments in farmland soil is controversial.

Peat soils are organic soils formed from decomposed plant parts that spread throughout the world, reaching 423 million hectares. It is well known that peat soils have adverse characteristics for infrastructure development due to their low shear strength and durability. Therefore, a lot of research has been done regarding the improvement of peat soils so that infrastructure development in dominant peat soil locations. However, in conducting the research, many tests were found to be inappropriate based on the characteristics of peat soils, causing doubts about the results of the research. In thi

Extreme, extended wet and dry seasons increase the adverse effects that soil wetting and drying cycles have on the response of shallow geotechnical structures. In expansive soils, volumetric changes due to water content variations may result in the incompatibility of deformations at the soil-structure interface. This study proposes a physical approach and a numerical model to address the soil-atmosphere-structure interactions during soil saturation and desiccation. Experimental desiccation tests were performed on relatively thin, compacted kaolin clay samples that represent the soil-atmosphere

This paper focuses on the difficulty of assessing the ecological risk of lead in soils and the factors controlling the fraction of the total that is available to soil organisms.

We investigated the combined use of isotopic abundance and isotopic dilution to show how the origins of soil Pb and soil characteristics affect lability. Soil pH and soil Pb content are the dominant controls on Pb lability; the lability of recent petrol-derived Pb is similar to that of other sources in urban soils but greater than geogenic Pb in rural roadside topsoils.
