The presence of unsaturated flow in tropical lateritic soils of unknown hydromechanical behavior may lead to severe geotechnical problems. It is known that soil-water characteristic curves (SWCC) are ...

Cadmium is a contaminant that has attracted much attention due to its toxicity, both in agricultural production processes and in terms of food safety.

ASTM International has introduced a new standard designed to encourage the consideration of the entire life cycle of tyres by providing a classification system for recovered carbon black (rCB). The ...

ABSTRACT: This study covers 25 samples of lateritic materials, in the following granular classes (0/20, 0/25, 0/31.5, 0/40 and 0/50 mm). The samples are taken from the borrow pits of Lam-Lam, Mont ...

According to the Soil Atlas, over 40 per cent of East Africa’s soils are degraded, with Kenya losing 26 tonnes of soil per hectare annually due to erosion. Additionally, 40 percent of Kenya’s ...

ABSTRACT: The adobe enclosure of Dendera temple is one of the most important remaining archaeological clay in ancient Egyptian temples. Field observations indicated significant preservation problems, ...

Abstract: Motivated by the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for buried landmine detection, we consider the spectral classification of dispersive point targets below a rough air-soil interface.

Abstract: Soil texture classification is pivotal in diverse fields, such as agriculture, environmental science, geology, civil engineering, and land management. Traditional approaches to soil texture ...
