Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluating the Effect of Soil Particle Characterization on Internal Friction AngleArezou Rasti, Hamid Ranjkesh Adarmanabadi, Maria Pineda, Jesse ReinikainenOne of the critical design parameters used in evaluating soil structure is the friction angle, derived from Mohr's Circle failure criterion. The soil friction angle is an engineering parameter estimated in the laboratory to quantify the soil shear strength in geotechnical applications. This paper indicates an experimental study investigating the impact of particle size on different sandy soils shear strength … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 21 Feb 2021 · 8,890 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Effects of Cement Kiln Dust on the Soil Electrical ResistivityHamid Ranjkesh Adarmanabadi, Arezou Rasti, Mehrdad RazaviElectrical resistivity is a non-destructive, cost-effective and sensitive method to evaluate soil's physical and chemical properties. Electrical resistivity has been used widely in surface and subsurface exploration. The electrical resistivity is directly related to the subsurface geotechnical and geothermal properties like porosity, temperature, salinity and water content. Recently uses of waste material as an additive to improve the soil engineering … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 14 Jan 2021 · 7,272 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAssessing of Soil Compaction and Relations to Soil Fertility on Different Land Used in Bintulu, SarawakAizul Azfar Zulkeefli, Md. Suzauddula, Md. Rezaul Karim et al.Assessing land uses-induced changes in soil properties from natural forests to farmland are indispensable for addressing the complications in terms of agricultural landscape sustainability. A study was conducted in Rehabilitated Forest (RF), Oil Palm (OP), Secondary Forest (SF) and Rubber Plantation (RP) at University Putra Malaysia in order to examine the results of soil densification on soil characteristics and fertility … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 11 Jan 2021 · 7,428 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSoil Organic Carbon Stock under Different Age Ranges of Cashew Agroecosystems in the Sudano-Sahelian Zone of CameroonAwé Djongmo Victor, Noiha Noumi Valery, Zapfack LouisThe aim of this study was to quantify the current soil organic carbon stock under different age ranges of cashew agroecosystems in the Sudano-Sahelian zone of Cameroon in the context of greenhouse gas emissions and land degradation. It is so crucial for combating climate change and improving ecological restoration. Random field sampling was carried out on 0-10, 10-20 and 20-30 … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 28 Dec 2020 · 6,993 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleParameter Calibration of Soil in the Poyang Lake Region Based on Discrete Element MethodBaoyu Zhu, Jun’an Liu, Xiongfei Chen et al.In order to obtain the soil parameters of Poyang Lake Region before direct seeding, the soil properties of Duchang County, Poyang County and Xinjian District recollected and the discrete element method model is established. The angle of repose of paddy soil is 53.00° tested by the lateral wall collapse method. Eleven parameters are used to establish EDEM simulation model with … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 16 Dec 2020 · 6,377 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the title2D Kinematic Quantification of Soil Particles around Growing Plant Root based on Optical MechanicsWenbin Wu, Jian ZhaoThe quantitative kinematic description of the surrounding soil particles during root growth is a technical challenge and biologically important. In this study, a two-dimensional camera-based imaging system was used to observe micro scale interactions between plant roots and soil particles. Maize root tip was imaged during ingress into the soils. This produced a series of two-dimensional images that represent temporal … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 21 Oct 2020 · 6,411 accessesView PDFCite
