Automated water balance procedure for large-scale experimental databases based on soil moisture

Creator:: Grayson, Susana Maria
Abstract:: Based on the determination of the zero-flux plane, a water balance procedure for large-scale experimental databases was automated to estimate the soil water balance based on soil water content distribution with depth through time. The automated procedure was verified using data from the BOREAS project obtained in three Intensive Field...

Infiltration of water and its effects on soil erosion : a computational analysis pertaining to central Tunisia

Creator:: Tobbi, Belgacem
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to use computer analysis of soil and rainfall data to predict the possible occurrence of soil erosion in Central Tunisia. Analysis was done with the program OR-NATURE (M.Ungs et al, 1985) . Central Tunisia was subdivided into northern, central, and southern subzones. Data about...

Numerical simulation of wood drying

Creator:: Berberovic, Adin
Abstract:: A mathematical and then a numerical model were developed for simulating a convective batch lumber drying process. The model incorporates mass and heat transfer relationships within the lumber stack, as well as thermodynamic properties of the wood and drying air. It takes into account a change of air properties along...

An economic analysis of the onsite benefits and costs of reducing soil erosion through conservation tillage in the Camas Prairie region of northern Idaho

Creator:: Bauer, Steven Gerard
Abstract:: The onsite costs and benefits of conservation tillage in the Camas Prairie Region of Northern Idaho were estimated. The evaluation of these costs and benefits included a measurement of the long-term effects of soil erosion on cropland productivity. A model developed by Daniel Taylor (1982) was used as a base...

Evaluation of the Performance of Lateral Spread Displacement Empirical Models for Subduction Zone Earthquake Case Histories

Creator:: Bunn, Michael
Abstract:: Lateral spread is a pervasive type of liquefaction-induced ground failure that occurs on gentle slopes or near free-faces, such as river channels. Resulting horizontal displacements can reach up to several meters, and can be considerably damaging to foundations, bridges, roadways, pipelines, etc. In the 1990s, Bartlett and Youd (1992a, 1995)...

Tsunami-induced Soil Instability

Creator:: Fischer, Rachael Marie
Abstract:: Recent tsunami field surveys from the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami have recorded numerous examples of tsunami-induced soil instability: significant scour around foundations, foundation failure of piles, and other damage caused by liquefaction. From the observations of soil instability leading to the failure of critical coastal structures, it...

Simplified stability assessment for low volume road cut and fill slopes

Creator:: Pratt, Randy C.
Abstract:: Many miles of roads are built in the Pacific Northwest Forests to provide access for logging and fire protection. Logging roads often cross steep mountainous terrain. Logging roads and the associated cut and fill slopes represent a discontinuity in the natural stress state in the soil mantle. These conditions result...

A comparison of deterministic and probabilistic radiation dose assessments at three fictitious ¹³⁷Cs contaminated sites in California, Colorado, and Florida

Creator:: Brock, Terry A.
Abstract:: Two methods of radiation dose assessment were evaluated for the Cs-137 in soil ⇒ leafy vegetable ⇒ human consumption exposure pathway at three fictitious contaminated sites in California, Colorado, and Florida. An annual dose equation was developed and per USEPA risk assessment guidelines, traditional, single point annual dose estimates were...

Forest Soils and Topography : Decoding the Influence of Physical Site Characteristics on Soil Water and Forest Productivity in Oregon's Coast Ranges

Creator:: Rodman, Henry
Abstract:: Forest soils and topography have long been known to influence forest productivity in complex terrain such as Oregon’s Coast Ranges. Incorporating physical site characteristics into predictions of forest growth and yield, however, has been problematic because of the high spatial variability of soil properties and the challenges associated with representing...
