Characterization of Moisture Movement in Water Absorbing Polymer–Soil System: Horizontal Absorption Method
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Water absorbing polymers (WAP) have shown their potential as vegetation growth promoters in various soil infrastructures by minimizing the downward migration of water and conserving adequate moisture in the vadose zone ...
Quantifying Water Release into Soil from Water-Absorbing Polymers under Drought Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The use of water-absorbing polymers (WAPs) is evolving as an amicable solution for preserving soil moisture and promoting vegetation cover under extreme drought conditions associated with changing climate. WAPs can absorb ...
Hysteresis Model for Water Retention Characteristics of Water-Absorbing Polymer-Amended Soils
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Water absorbing polymers (WAPs) are gaining attention in the field of geotechnical engineering, with application to bioengineered slopes, vegetation growth on landfill covers, and maintenance of green infrastructure in ...
