This paper builds on exploring the applications of biomediated pathways to solve geotechnical challenges. First, the state of the art of biological remediation strategies …
The number of sensors, ground-based and remote, exploiting the relationship between soil dielectric response and soil water content continues to grow. Empirical expressions for this …
A new integrated experimental and theoretical framework to simultaneously measure mechanical, hydraulic and high frequency dielectric properties of soil during shrinkage was …
The assumption of treating the specimen volume as constant while experimentally determining the soil water retention curve (SWRC) of soils is valid only for nonplastic …
This study presents physical observations and insights into particle migration characteristics throughout the suffusion process. Using a purpose-built coaxial permeameter cell, suffusion …
Geotextiles find wide applications in the field for filtration and drainage. When applied on the soil surface they influence soil evaporation. The objective of this work is twofold:(a) to assess …
Two of the conventional methods to improve soft soil deposits are evaporative dewatering and accelerated consolidation of the deposits using prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) …
Several methods quantify soil evaporation by measuring vertical moisture flux or by recording change in mass of a soil specimen. These methods conventionally consider a non …
The recent catastrophic failures of tailings storage facilities (TSFs) have generated an enormous interest amongst the stakeholders for safe management of tailings. Two state …
