Step 1. A soil profile consists of 10-m-thick fine sand of effective 1 size 0.15 mm above a very thick layer of clay. Ground-water level is at 3 m below the ground surface. Determine the height of capillary rise, assuming that the equivalent capillary tube diameter is 10% of the effective size and the sand surface is similar to smooth glass.

The results indicate that high sand contents and high cyclic stress ratios accelerate the …

The McDermitt clay-type Li deposit, located in Nevada, is the largest Li deposit in the United States, with Li hosted by a clay-rich sequence of smectite-dominated intervals and illite-dominated intervals, respectively. However, the occurrence …

Aggregates constitute the foundation for modern civilization and are essential for providing shelter, infrastructure, and communication, but are an increasingly scarce resource. Here, we review the interconnections between the impacts of aggregate mining …
