silty

The surface of the investigation site was levelled and the major part of the area was replaced with manmade soil (tplIV) consisting of silty sand (SU, SUo), low plasticity clay (TL), intermediate plasticity clay (TM), silty clay (TU) and gravel sand (GU).

Soil type in this coastal area is very soft silty clay or marine clay layered with a thin layer of silt or fine sand.

I used silty sand instead of top-soil, and I didn't bother to close the dustcover.

Topics include a prototype palm nut separator, a field comparison of tomato irrigation scheduling, the impact of Nigerian power sector reforms, concrete made from Benin silty sand, and an electronic patient record system using smart cards.

Step out and extension drilling in the southern area identified a third lower mineralised zone at the volcanic/ silty limestone contact.

Yamamuro and Lade (1997), Yamamuro and Lade (1998) and Yamamuro and Covert (2001) concluded that complete static liquefaction (zero effective confining pressure and zero effective stress difference) in laboratory testing is most easily achieved in silty sands at very low pressures.

The greatest soil erosion risks are on slopes and areas with silty soils, where soil can easily end up on roads or in rivers.

One meter below the silty loess in northern China, private miners discovered iron ore.

The Chinese researchers analyze long-term settlement of a chimney foundation on silty clay, design ballasted railway track foundations under cyclic loading, evaluate the extraction resistance of grouted soil nail, and develop a treatment plan for preventing landslides on the Changtan New River.

For example, recent lab-scale JET tests on a silty sand soil and a silty clay soil showed that both soil compaction and water content have a significant impact on erodibility.

For example, hardstem bulrush favors firm sand or gravelly substrate, while water lilies like mucky or silty soils.

On the basis of grain size the studied surface sediments fall into three groups: (1) silt (deepest central part of the lake), (2) silty sand (shallow coastal regions and the northern part of the lake), and (3) sand (these sediments mainly dominate in the southern area of the lake) (Fig.
