Soil-Geomorphology and Soil-Stratigraphy in the Lower Pomme De Terre River Valley, Southwestern Missouri
… 1962 to 1977, studies of surficial geology and soil geomorphology in the Breshears Bottoms along the lower Pomme de Terre River, Southwestern Missouri, produced models of erosion, deposition and soil-stratigraphy. These studies chronicle events that began prior to 50,000 radiocarbon years before …

Characterization of soft soil using multi-channel analysis of surface waves (MASW) and electrical resistivity method (ERM)
This thesis demonstrates the research on the soft soil characteristics using geophysical methods. The need on non-intrusive, time efficient, economic and larger volume of investigation had increased the demand of using geophysical methods for geotechnical investigation. The research concentrates on …

Quantifying the contribution of bank storage due to an alteration in stream stage
… a portion of the floodplain?; 2) How does soil stratigraphy impact the movement of water within the floodplain?; and 3) How has historical river engineering and management influenced these processes? The study was conducted on a site in the Rio Grande floodplain in Albuquerque, New Mexico. …

Testing Terraces: Managing and Sustaining the Agrarian Environment in the Maltese Archipelago
… sampling to enable an exploration of terrace soil stratigraphy and geochemistry – observing the variation down-profile, down-slope and between geological regions. Analytical methods used were Particle Size Analysis, Loss-on-Ignition, Ion Chromatography, pH and X-Ray Diffraction. These data …

Modeling the Dynamic Response of Vertical Spent Nuclear Fuel Dry Storage Casks under Three-Dimensional Earthquake Wave Fields
… collision during seismic events. Furthermore, soil-structure interaction (SSI) may significantly influence the dynamic response of such stiff structures founded on soft soil. While previous research studies have attempted to address this issue, they predominantly relied on one-dimensional (1D) …

Calculated versus measured static capacity for two pile types
… and Eslami and Fellenius (1997) method. The soil stratigraphy and CPT data were compiled for both sites. The subsurface profile at Route WW consists of interbedded layers of sand, silt and clay with a thick layer of dense sand (SPN-values of 30 to 60) beginning at about a depth of 55 feet on …

Fluvial processes, beaver activity, and climate in the greater Yellowstone ecosystem and rock type control on hillslope morphology and soil development in the Sandia Mountains, New Mexico
… 3 explores the role of rock type in hillslope soil formation and slope morphology in the Sandia Mountains of New Mexico. Resistant rock types have a profound impact on slopes by increasing the amount of coarse colluvium that traps and preserves eolian material. Accretion of eolian material …

Late Quaternary landscape evolution and environmental change in Charwell Basin, South Island, New Zealand
… in Charwell Basin using terrain analysis, loess stratigraphy, soil chemistry and paleoecological data. The study contributes new understanding of New Zealand landscape and ecosystem responses to regional and global climatic change extending to Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 6, and shows that …
