This book was released on 2009 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The strength and stability of the soil surface need to be define before any construction begin. The purposes of this study are to obtain the basic characteristic and shear strength of silty clay at the some location in Temerloh district. It has low compressibility and most of the structure constructed on it usually will be affected especially in stabilization and settlement. In order to prevent that from happen, the engineering properties of silty clay must be determined before the beginning of any design work. In this study, some disturbed samples of silty clay were required, taken from 2 different locations which are Kg Buntut Pulau and Kg. Sanggang for soil identification, classification and properties test. For the determination of basic properties of that silty clay, a laboratory test of sieve analysis and Atterberg Limit were conducted in order to get the relationship between moisture content, liquid limit and plasticity index of every sample. Then, the Unconsolidated-Undrained test was choosed as the suitable method of Triaxial Test for determining shear strength parameters for the silty clay. From the result, the moisture content of the sample from both sites is 34.52% and 50.8% respectively. Meanwhile, for the Atterberg limit result, both site recorded the reading of 51.10% and 54.87% respectively for liquid limit and also 25.31% and 28.78% for the plastic limit. Then the value of plasticity index which obtain form the liquid and plastic limit is 25.79% and 26.09%. Then for the particle size distribution test, site A was recorded percentage of silt and clay as the highest with 51% and for same as for site B with 56% of silt and clay for the most dominant particle. The shear strength test results have clearly shown the weakness of Kg Buntut Pulau and Kg. Sanggang soil which are within soft clay soils strength with the average recorded value of 37.91kPa and 26.41kPa respectively. The data and result from this project can be used as a preliminary forecast for further investigation of soil properties and shear strength in the future construction and development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Difficulties posed by low plasticity soils including silty and sandy clays, silts, and sands are described. The soils considered are not cemented and generally display the dependence between consolidation state and strength necessary to apply such procedures as Stress History and Normalized Soil Engineering Properties (SHANSEP). Unfortunately, these soils are highly susceptible to sampling disturbance because of the unavoidable low effective stress that remains in specimens after sampling. Sampling disturbance obscures consolidation behavior, making it difficult to estimate the in situ overconsolidation ratio. Also, the low compressibility of these materials makes it difficult to clearly define the virgin compression curve. Improvements in interpretation procedures will come only after a sound mechanical description of sampling disturbance has been developed.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shear strength of soils is an important engineering aspect because shear strength characteristics are widely used in various applications such as bearing capacity and earth pressure of soils. Shear strength of sands is somewhat simpler than that of clays, which are complex materials exhibiting engineering behaviour difficult to predict. Shear strength of clays depends of water content, drainage conditions, rate of loading and degree of compaction.Unconfined compression tests were performed on cylindrical samples compacted at different remoulded densities chosen from the compaction curves of the soil. Proctor compaction tests were performed on the soil at three different compaction energies corresponding to N=25, 35 and 50. Dry densities of test samples corresponding to water contents of 10%,12% and 14% were chosen from the three compaction curves pertaining to N=25,35 and 50. Remoulded cylindrical samples were prepared for the performance of unconfined compression tests at the above dry densities and water contents. Stress strain characteristics, variation of peak compressive stress with significant parameters were studied.

This book was released on 1970 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The investigation was undertaken to determine shear strength and pore pressure parameters of a soil when subjected to sequential loading. This method is intended to similate the in-situ condition of stress application under certain field conditions. The testing procedure, a sequential triaxial shear test, is described. This test consists of successive stages of partial consolidation followed by undrained shear. Triaxial consolidation and shear strength characteristics of a sedimented remolded silty-clay are compared with the results from conventional tests on isotropically consolidated samples. The undrained strength was found to be a function of moisture content, irrespective of the method of test and initial stress system for the normally consolidated soil. A unique relationship was established between a pore pressure parameter, the ratio of the change in pore pressure to the effective vertical consolidation pressure, and undrained strength. It is concluded that this sequential procedure of testing does change the strength characteristics of the soil. These cannot be predicted from the conventional test"--Abstract, page ii.

This book was released on 2017-02-15 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As we embark into the 21st century, we need to address new challenges ranging from population growth, climate change, and depletion of natural resources to providing better health care, food security and peace to humankind, while at the same time protecting natural ecosystems that provide the services which allow life to flourish on Earth. To meet those challenges, profound changes are required in the way that societies conduct their everyday affairs, ways that will lead to better preservation, protection and sustainable management of natural resources with long lasting impacts. The aim of CleanWAS 2016 is to provide productive opportunities for academics and practitioners from interdisciplinary fields of Environmental Sciences to meet, share and bring expertise and ideas in related disciplines. The CleanWAS conference was first organized in the year 2012. It is an annual event organised by the International Water, Air and Soil Conservation society (INWASCON) and is supported by various Malaysian (UKM, UMS, UIAM) and Chinese universities (CUG, NKU, SYSU).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Encyclopedia of Agrophysics will provide up-to-date information on the physical properties and processes affecting the quality of the environment and plant production. It will be a "first-up" volume which will nicely complement the recently published Encyclopedia of Soil Science, (November 2007) which was published in the same series. In a single authoritative volume a collection of about 250 informative articles and ca 400 glossary terms covering all aspects of agrophysics will be presented. The authors will be renowned specialists in various aspects in agrophysics from a wide variety of countries. Agrophysics is important both for research and practical use not only in agriculture, but also in areas like environmental science, land reclamation, food processing etc. Agrophysics is a relatively new interdisciplinary field closely related to Agrochemistry, Agrobiology, Agroclimatology and Agroecology. Nowadays it has been fully accepted as an agricultural and environmental discipline. As such this Encyclopedia volume will be an indispensable working tool for scientists and practitioners from different disciplines, like agriculture, soil science, geosciences, environmental science, geography, and engineering.
