Soil water potential (SWP) is vital for controlling the various biological and non-biological
processes occurring through and across the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum (SPAC) …

Abstract Al-Ahsa Oasis is one of the oldest and biggest agricultural regions in Saudi Arabia.
Thirty-six soil samples representing most of the soil type in the region were collected and …

Water is a precious resource essential for all forms of life, and although there is plenty of
water to meet the demand for the present population–and even for a projected population of …

The shear strength is a fundamental property of soil material. The measurement of the shear
strength of unsaturated soils is challenging. Several tests are necessary to establish the …

This chapter describes the thesis structure and introduces some commonly used definitions
related to unsaturated soil behavior. Chapter Two reviews some important studies that are …

Аннотация Введение. В данной статье рассмотрены основные аспекты влияния
давления всасывания на устойчивость склона с примером расчета в программном …

This manual presents procedures for performing advanced laboratory tests on fine-grained
soils. It covers characterization tests, which determine soil composition and quantify the …

Soil suction is a critical stress-state variable essential to characterize the behaviour of
unsaturated soils. The evaluation of soil suction is challenging in both field and laboratory …

The objective of this study is to evaluate the influences of soil index properties, swelling
parameters, and soil mineralogy on unsaturated shear strength parameters (ϕ', ϕb, c') of …

This study investigates the soil-water retention behaviour, swell potential, and swell
pressure of expansive soils treated with diatomaceous earth (DE) at 5% and 10% content …
