From mild winters to heavier equipment, farmers face several uncontrollable factors, adding layers to the soil compaction problem. “Our winters have been milder, and snowfall has been lighter in ...

Soil compaction is a global threat to soil ecosystem services, causing tremendous costs to society. The costs of soil compaction are borne by the cumulative loss of soil functionality (e.g. yield loss ...

The California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test remains a cornerstone in evaluating the load-bearing capacity of subgrade soils for pavement design. This metric, traditionally determined through ...

Soil compaction is becoming of increasing concern to Indiana agriculture. For many years,it was thought to be mostly a "southern U.S. problem" and of little importance in the Midwest. Today, however, ...

The system is designed to mimic mechanical impedance and to identify genotypes with contrasting tolerance to compaction—fast enough to support ...

For a successful outcome, each phase of the work – soil stabilisation, compaction, grading, material delivery, paving – must proceed with maximum efficiency and always within challenging time ...

Proper soil compaction is crucial for both small and large construction projects because it increases soil density and load bearing, ensuring the stability, durability, and longevity of buildings and ...

This year in South Dakota many areas have received high amounts of rainfall during the summer. This has led to portions of fields being wet particularly in the northeastern part of the state. Soils ...
