Abstract:

Gypseous soils are considered problematic soils because the soil cavities happen during receiving the water or this type of soil and solving gypsum materials and contract in a soil volume. In this study, three types of gypseous soils are used; soil1, soil2, and soil3 with gypsum content (28.71%, 43.6%, and 54.88%) respectively, petroleum products (engine oil, fuel oil, and kerosene) are added to the soils with percentages (3%, 6%, 9%, and 12%) for each product. The result showed that specific gravity, liquid limit, optimum moisture content (O.M.C), and maximum dry density decreased with an inc

Abstract:

The increase in needs and the decrease in places with good, usable foundation soil have made the construction of engineering structures on problematic soils mandatory. Problematic soils generally do not have sufficient bearing capacity and soil strength, which may create an environment prone to high settlement or liquefaction. To investigate potential ways to enhance the compaction, undesirable or problematic plasticity, and soil’s strength characteristics, various geotechnical tests have been carried out on clayey soils and their mixtures treated with a Substrate Cement Mortar (0, 4, 8, and 1

Abstract:

Dispersive soils are becoming a common building material. Due to their susceptibility to internal erosion and leakage, dispersive soils should only be used in combination with precise engineering measures to avoid catastrophic failures. Dispersive soils stabilization is critical and has been investigated in several studies conducted throughout the world. Erosion is a significant issue in structures built on sloping contours. As was the case with St. 670+250 Lipat Kajang road in Aceh Singkil. Soil erosion happens as a result of water’s dispersion and transport force. Dispersive soil is one of t

Abstract:

Vegetation changes caused by fire events are visible instantly but changes in soils are less apparent, and could be short-term, long-term or permanent in nature. Research has shown that soils undergo changes in their mineralogical, geochemical, physico-chemical and biological properties after a fire event that may vary depending on the intensity and duration of the fire, and the properties of the soil. Some of these properties make significant contributions towards soil’s ability to sorb contaminants. Changes in these properties could affect soil sorption complex and the effectiveness of remed

Sulfate-bearing soils, which causes many engineering problems, e.g., cracking, collapse, and pavement layer settlement, are often encountered in the construction of pavements. Ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS)-magnesia (MgO) has been regarded as an effective curing agent in the treatment of sulfate-bearing soil containing gypsum. However, field sulfate-bearing soils usually include other forms of sulfates, such as sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) and magnesium sulfate (MgSO4). Currently, few studies have investigated the effect of the type of sulfate on the properties of sulfate-bearing soil

Abstract:

The destructive effect of expansive soils on infrastructure is one of the classical issues associated with unsaturated soils. Given the continuing challenges associated with swelling soils there is still a need for a practical analysis method. The swelling equilibrium limit (SEL) provides a concept for modeling expansive soil behaviour. The SEL is an upper bound swelling limit, which depends on the soil’s initial state and the boundary conditions upon wetting. The SEL is obtained experimentally from swelling tests performed by applying a range of swelling scenarios from rigid boundary conditio

Abstract:

Following the M7.0 strike-slip earthquake near Kumamoto, Japan, in April of 2016, most geotechnical engineering experts believed that there would be significant soil liquefaction and liquefaction-induced infrastructure damage observed in the densely populated city of Kumamoto during the post-event engineering reconnaissance. This belief was driven by several factors including the young geologic environment, alluvially deposited soils, a predominance of loose sandy soils documented in publicly available boring logs throughout the region, and the high intensity ground motions observed from the e

Abstract:

Given its high pore volume and adsorption capacity, and when applied as an agricultural soil amendment, its ability to enhance the soil’s nutrient- and water- holding capacities, biochar has become a focus of research interest. In most applications, crop productivity is significantly increased after agricultural soils are amended with biochar. In addition to increasing soil quality, the biochar amendments sequester carbon within the soil. However, the long-term effects of amending agricultural soils with biochar are difficult to predict, because the mechanisms behind the increase in productivi

Abstract:

Air pollution is a leading factor affecting the health of the population residing in the capital. The primary source of air pollution in the city is automobile transport, accounting for over 90% of emissions. The number of vehicles on the roads increases annually, resulting in traffic congestion and elevated levels of exhaust fumes and pollution in residential areas and neighborhoods. Industrial enterprises also contribute significantly to pollution. Surface and groundwater in Moscow experience considerable stress, primarily due to intensive and irrational use of water resources, as well as th

Abstract:

Soils contaminated by mining activities are a major environmental concern, and to avoid this type of environmental impact, carrying out high-cost processes is necessary. For this reason, a solution is proposed in this study in order to eliminate the soils contaminated by mining activities and, in turn, prevent the soil’s contaminating elements from causing harm. All this is achieved by using contaminated soils as raw materials for the production of ceramics for bricks. For this purpose, the materials were initially characterized physically and chemically, and different ceramic test pieces were

Many halophytes are considered to be salt hyperaccumulators, adopting ion extrusion and inclusion mechanisms. Such plants, with high aboveground biomass, may play crucial roles in saline habitats, including soil desalination and phytoremediation of polluted soils and waters. These plants cause significant changes in some of the soil’s physical and chemical properties; and have proven efficient in removing heavy metals and metabolizing organic compounds from oil and gas activities.

Background Biochar, an alkaline material derived from agricultural and forestry waste, can ameliorate soil quality by adjusting soil pH. However, various types of biochar have distinct effects on soil pH due to diversity in feedstock type, pyrolysis temperature, and application rate. Method Therefore, a meta-analysis was conducted with 598 paired comparisons obtained from 104 published studies (January 2010–July 2022) to comprehensively depict the response of soil pH to biochar in farmland systems across China.

Abstract:

In the territory of the Czech Republic there are more than 50% of agricultural soils exposed to water erosion; it is a very urgent problem both at present and for the future. It must be solved now when there is still something to be protected. It is rather complicated to describe the soil properties in terms of soil susceptibility to water erosion because it is a complex relation in which many factors participate. For the complex evaluation of all main factors participating in erosion origination it is possible to apply the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE). It consists of six factors intera

Abstract:

Beneath pasture grazed by farmed animals, the soil’s nitrogen (N), oxygen, and temperature regimes can be unevenly distributed in time and space. It is difficult to capture spatial and temporal variation of N2O using conventional emission measurement technology based on gas samples taken in chambers that briefly cover a small area of the soil’s surface. We report the results from field deployment of alternative, non-intrusive N2O emission measurement technology that uses subsurface measurements incorporating the soil processes controlling the net N2O production and gas diffusion rates.

Soils are an essential element in sustainable food systems and vital for ecosystem services. Soils are degrading, because of urbanization, poor soil management, depletion and mining, over-use of inputs and impacts of climate change. Poor soil management resulted from short-term yield maximization caused by changes in land tenure, property rights and land use. We argue for soil protection based on the concept of soil telos defined as the combined purposefulness in agricultural production and terrestrial ecosystem optimization.
