Abstract:

Applying ultrasound energy to soil-water suspensions (sonication) is an established method of determining the size distributions of soil primary mineral particles and associated organic matter. The size distributions may vary, however, with sonication input energy and soil type. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of sonication input energy on the size distributions of soil mineral particles and organic matter for a range of soil textures and carbon contents typical of agricultural soils in southwestern Ontario. The soils included a Brookston clay loam, a Brookston clay, a

Abstract:

Fractal scaling has been applied to soils, both for void and solid phases, as an approach to characterize the porous arrangement, attempting to relate particle-size distribution to soil water retention and soil water dynamic properties. One important point of such an analysis is the assumption that the void space geometry of soils reflects its solid phase geometry, taking into account that soil pores are lined by the full range of particles, and that their fractal dimension, which expresses their tortuosity, could be evaluated by the fractal scaling of particle-size distribution.

Abstract:

SummaryBatcombe series soils readily break down to good tilths, Beccles series soils form cloddy seed beds that are resistant to weathering, and Stackyard series soils form unstable tilths that readily break down. The soils differ in their particle-size distribution. The proposition that such differences contributed to the differences in field behaviour was examined by forming artificial soils, each of which was made up from particles of one of the soils, but redistributed with respect to size in the proportion in which they occurred in one of the other soils.As a measure of the relevant physi

Abstract:

In recent years, the migration and transformation of heavy metals (HMs) in soil has become a hot issue. Soil particle size has an important effect on the environmental behavior of HMs in soil. The distribution of HMs in soil is strongly affected by the size of a soil aggregate. In this study, paddy samples in both cultivated and uncultivated soils were collected from Anhui Province, China. The soils were sieved into six particle size fractions (diameters of >4000, 4000–2000, 2000–1000, 1000–250, 250–53, and <53 μm) and the wet digestion method was used to determine the concentrations of

Abstract:

Many geotechnical problems require the determination of soil engineering properties such as shear strength. Therefore, the determination of the reliable values for this parameter is essential. For this purpose, the direct shear test, as one of the oldest tests to examine the shear strength of soils, is the most common way in laboratories to determine the shear parameters of soil. There are far too many variables that influence the results of a direct shear test. In this paper, a series of 10 × 10 cm direct shear tests were carried out on four different poorly graded sands with different partic

Abstract:

Internal erosion (suffusion) is caused by water seeping through the matrix of coarse soil and progressively transporting out fine particles. The mechanical strength and stress–strain behavior of soils within water-retaining structures may be affected by internal erosion. Some researchers have set out to conduct triaxial erosion tests to study the mechanical consequences of erosion. Prior to conducting a triaxial test they subject a soil sample, which has an initially homogeneous particle-size distribution and density throughout, to erosion by causing water to enter one end of a sample and wash

Abstract:

Particle-size distribution (PSD) is a fundamental soil property that plays an important role in soil classification and soil hydromechanical behaviour. A continuous mathematical model representing the PSD curve facilitates the quantification of particle breakage, which often takes place when granular soils are compressed or sheared. This paper proposes a simple and continuous PSD model for granular soils involving particle breakage. The model has two parameters and is able to represent different types of continuous PSD curves. It is found that one model parameter is closely related to the coef

Grain size distribution of soil determines much of water and physical properties of the soil mass. However, it defines ecological functions and morphological memory of soils in the study of their genesis, evolution and use. This article describes the main methods of particle size analysis and suggests the modern methods used increasingly in the research in soil science, geology, chemical, pharmaceutical and other industries. Key words: particle size distribution of soil, sedimentograph, laser diffraction.

The motive, which led to the setting up of this project, was that producers could not determine beforehand whether a specific location would yield wines of high or low quality. If a specific cultivar were to be planted at the wrong location, then it was likely that wine of table quality would result, rather than the export quality wine that was intended.

Abstract:

We address the problem of stochastic simulation of soil particle-size curves (PSCs) in heterogeneous aquifer systems. Unlike traditional approaches that focus solely on a few selected features of PSCs (e.g., selected quantiles), our approach considers the entire particle-size curves and can optionally include conditioning on available data. We rely on our prior work to model PSCs as cumulative distribution functions and interpret their density functions as functional compositions. We thus approximate the latter through an expansion over an appropriate basis of functions. This enables us to (a)

Past literature has shown that the production efficiency of a fluidized bed can be affected by changing the particle size distribution. The hydrodynamics of fine particle fluidization were studied with FCC and glass bead powders which have different surface-volume mean particle diameter (40-110 μM) and particle size distributions (narrow cut, wide cut and bimodal) under ambient conditions. Increasing the mean particle size increases the minimum fluidization velocity, minimum bubbling velocity and dense phase velocity (U[sub d]) while decreasing the voidages at minimum fluidization and minimum

Abstract:

When testing an 1:N geotechnical structure in the centrifuge, it is desirable to choose a large scale factor (N) that can fit the small-scale model in a model container and avoid unwanted boundary effects, however, this in turn may cause scale effects when the structure is overscaled. This is more significant when it comes to small-scale modelling of sinker root-soil interaction, where root-particle size ratio is much lower. In this study the Distinct Element Method (DEM) is used to investigate this problem. The sinker root of a model root system under axial loading was analysed, with both upw

Abstract:

This dataset examines the impact of charcoal and tree species on forest soil recovery post-fire, encompassing soil profile characteristics, particle size distribution (granulometry), and chemical properties. It includes measurements from eight variants, considering four tree species and two land preparation methods for regeneration: with and without charcoal removal. The methodology and study location are described in the publication.

Abstract:

Over the last decade there has been a dramatic shift in global agricultural practice. The increase in human population, especially in underdeveloped arid and semiarid regions of the world, poses unprecedented challenges to production of an adequate and economically feasible food supply to undernourished populations. Furthermore, the increased living standard in many industrial countries has created a strong demand for high-quality, out-of-season vegetables and fruits as well as for ornamentals such as cut and potted flowers and bedding plants. As a response to these imminent challenges and dem
