Abstract:
Abstract Logging operations in natural forests generally use bulldozers. Bulldozers skid logs from the stump site to the landing site. The bulldozer maneuvers in the felling area cause skid trails and soil compaction. Soil compaction is one of the negative impacts of logging operations. The research aim is to analyze the level of soil compaction in various bulldozer skidding intensities after logging operations. The research occurred at a natural forest area in Siberut West Sumatera, Indonesia. The results of the study showed that there was a relationship between skidding intensity and the lev

Abstract:
Soil bulk density is a physical property of soils that affects water storage, water and nutrient movement, and plant root activity in the soil profile. The ability to quantify soil bulk density using vibration-induced conductivity fluctuation was investigated with possible field applications in the future. The AC electrical conductance of soil was measured using a pair of blade-like electrodes while exposing to periodic vibration. The blades were positioned longitudinally and transversally to the direction of the induced vibration to enable the calculation of a normalized index. This normalize

Concern about soil physical quality has grown in recent years, particularly in view of serious problems caused by intensive soil use. We hypothesised that improper soil management in irrigated areas damages the structure of sensitive soils in some regions in North-eastern Brazil. The aim of the study was to evaluate the physical quality of irrigated soils planted with annual and perennial crops, compared with soils under natural vegetation in Ceará State, Brazil. Measurements were made of least limiting water range (LLWR), the S index, and relative density. Undisturbed soil samples were collec

Abstract:
Abstract Recovery of soils compacted from conventional ground-based logging operations was assessed on six upland oak-hickory timber sales in south central Indiana. Two areas were selectively harvested in each of the years 1984, 1986, and 1988. Mean bulk density of undisturbed forest soils ranged from 0.93 to 1.02 mg/m3 for the silt loam soils found on all six study areas. Even though soil disturbance averaged 18% of the total sale area immediately after harvesting, the visible amount of soil disturbance decreased to 2.0 and 2.5% for the areas sampled 2 and 4 years after logging, respectively.

Abstract:
Soil bulk density is a crucial indicator for assessing soil matter storage and soil quality. Due to the complexity of sampling soil bulk density, particularly in deeper layers, it is essential to study the spatial distribution patterns of soil bulk density and their influencing factors. To address the gap in large-scale studies of vertical (from surface to deeper layers) and horizontal (across a broad area) variations in soil bulk density in arid regions, this study focuses on Changji Prefecture, located in the central northern slope of the Tianshan Mountains and characterized by typical verti

Processes responsible for natural recovery of compacted forest soils are poorly understood, making estimating their recovery problematic.

Significant increases in bulk density occurred when the soil water potential was wetter than −25 kPa. After 1 year, an additional significa

Soil compaction in alfalfa fields has become increasingly severe due to the mechanization of animal husbandry and the increased use of heavy agricultural machinery. Perennial alfalfa land undergoes mechanical compaction several times during the planting period without mechanical tillage. The compacted soil structure may recover through moisture changes, freezing and thawing cycles, and plant growth, but the extent and rate of this recovery remain unknown. In this study, alfalfa plots with two different soil types (medium loam and sandy) in Gansu, China, were selected to address these issues. T

Abstract:
Abstract Pipelines buried in soil are protected by a thick organic coating complemented by cathodic protection. In spite of this double protection, when these pipelines are in the vicinity of a high voltage AC electrical field, such as a power line or an electrical railway for instance, corrosion may occur at the location of coating holidays. This phenomenon may be explained by a faradic rectification due to a non-linearity of electromagnetic interface behavior, and by the AC field effect. At each AC signal, the steel-soil interface may be polarized anodically, therefore inducing a dissolution

Abstract This work aims to assess the effectiveness of amine carboxylate based Vapor Phase Corrosion Inhibitor (VPCI) on the protection of storage tank bottoms against soil-side corrosion, as standalone and in combination with Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP) system. It also attempts to determine the effect of VPCI on instant-off potential. Lab-scale tanks simulating the environment of single bottom storage tank sitting on washed sand with High-density polyethylene (HDPE) liner and ICCP system were considered. Corrosion rate for each tank was monitored using Electrical Resistance (

Abstract Managing soil-side corrosion problems on Above Ground Storage Tanks (AGSTs) presents an important challenge to refinery corrosion engineers. Cathodic protection and periodic internal inspection are two methods of managing soil-side corrosion. Mobil Oil Australia conducted a study into the need and feasibility of cathodically protecting up to 120 tanks at its Altona refinery in Melbourne Australia The need was determined by assessing the corrosivity of the environment under the tanks from soil samples and inspection data, and the feasibility determined by conducting current drainage te

Abstract:
This paper deals with the volumetric quantification of soil loss. A device called erosion bridge was used for the quantification. It was designed and created at the Institute of Landscape Water Management, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Brno University of Technology. The principle of the measurement with the use of this device is that the needles are lowered onto the terrain surface and their profile copies the terrain profile. A camera attached to the erosion bridge is important, which is used to take photographs of the erosion bridge with the profile of the rill. For the quantification, a dee

The engineering behavior of frozen soils is critical to the serviceability of civil infrastructure in cold regions. Among various geophysical techniques, electrical resistivity imaging is a promising technique that is cost effective and provides spatially continuous subsurface information. In this study, under freeze–thaw conditions, we carry out lab–scale 1D electrical resistivity measurements on frost–susceptible soils with varying water content and bulk density properties. We use a portable electrical resistivity meter for temporal electrical resistivity measurements and thermocouples for t
