In the Mediterranean area, the simultaneous occurrence of pedological, climatic and
economic constraints often sets a limit on the profitability of agriculture, and farmers are …

Featured Application This model can be valuable in creating micro-zonation mapping for
quick assessment of soil characterization, soil selection based on tender documents and …

Determination of soil hydraulic properties under non-saturated conditions is crucial in order
to describe soil water dynamics in the field. The objectives of this work were: i-to determine …

This study explores the potential of optimizing alkali-activated clay with rubber waste to
create sustainable earthen bricks. The research addresses the environmental challenges …

This study examines the effects of incorporating powdered cactus pear pruning waste
(PCPPW) on the hydraulic properties of benchmark soils, in line with circular economy …

The application of unsaturated soil mechanics in geotechnical engineering problems relies
on the construction of the soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC). The existing relationships …

Engineered fills are enhanced by compaction to reduce compressibility and permeability. In-
situ application of shallow densification methods involve static method with the use of …

Many soils older than the Holocene have experienced several changes, and possess
properties that may be due to the complex effect of several stages of soil development; these …

The existence of salts as part of the solid phase of the soil or dissolved within the pore fluid
may cause significant errors in the values of specific gravity of such soils by using …

This thesis provides an overview of the most promising current solutions to recover lost
phosphorus (P) fluxes in surface water, and focuses mainly on its recycling through the use …
