This study aims to evaluate the relationship between saturated hydraulic conductivity with particle shape and packing density characteristics of silty sand soils. The article presents a series of hydraulics tests performed on three kinds of sand with different particles shapes (Chlef rounded sand, ...
This trend implies that the shear behavior of the mixture aligns more closely with that of silty soil as fines content increases. Additionally, both CCS and mixture behaved more contraction under high confining pressure (600 kPa) caused by the significant particle breakage. Besides the effects of ...

These results are in line with other studies showing that reduced BD tends to increase total pore volume of amended soil samples ranging from coarse-textured sandy to silty clay loam soils (Blanco-Canqui, 2017), especially when woody biochars have been applied (Omondi et al., 2016). The ...

Each whole-plot includes three sub-plots with the sets (each set consisted of 64 entries). The entries within a set were randomized after an 8 (blocks) by 8 (entries) lattice design. plots at the Purdue University Agronomy Center for Research and Education near Lafayette is Chalmers silty ...
Micromechanical modeling for behavior of silty sand with influence of fine content 2011, International Journal of Solids and Structures Citation Excerpt : For a packing consisting of two spherical particle sizes, an ideal bimodal packing will occur. The minimum void ratio of a bimodal packing has be...
The water status of the sampled mown fields was influencing the results for the clayey texture. Overall, the mean SOC stock was decreasing in the order clay > sand > silt. The higher mean SOC concentrations found for the sandy texture, compared to the finer silty texture, may be explained ...
The dielectric constant of soil is used to estimate its water content in a range of applications. Unlike the widely known effect of water content on the so
The soil texture thematic layer was collected (scale 1:100,000) from the SRDI (https://www.barc.gov.bd/) (i) Mixed sand and silt loam; (ii) Predominantly loam; (iii) Mostly clay; (iv) Mixed clay and silt loam; (v) Mixed silt loam and silty clay loam; and (vi) Waterbodies ...
