Abstract: The utility of waste fly ash, especially class F, in agriculture, geotechnical, and geoenvironmental applications have increased manifold. In most of these cases, precise determination of water retention characteristics ...

Abstract: The knowledge of unsaturated soil is indispensable for several hydrological and geoenvironmental problems such as permeation of water through vadoze zone, ground water recharge, and deciding irrigation requirements for ...

Abstract: Determination of contaminant interaction with soil is essential for predicting its fate in geoenvironments. Several studies have appraised contaminant fate prediction based on the results of single contaminant-soil ...

Abstract: Compacted landfill liner is an integral part of a waste management system, which minimizes the migration of harmful contaminants to geoenvironment and groundwater. Low hydraulic conductivity is the most important requirement ...

Abstract: Modeling the behavior of unsaturated soils necessitates the measurement of soil suction and the establishment of its variation with the water content, which is commonly known as the soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC). ...

Abstract: To prevent fly ash from becoming an environmental hazard, it is very often used as a fill material in the construction of embankments. The stability of slopes incorporating the unsaturated behavior is of primary concern ...

Abstract: Experiments were conducted to measure the suction of a locally available silty soil and commercially available white clay, using a Dewpoint PotentiaMeter (WP4). The results were used to develop the soil–water characteristic ...

Abstract: Thermal backfill is essential for projects such as underground crude oil pipelines and crude oil storage tanks to control the heat migration from the source. The properties of locally available soil may not be adequate as ...
