I am looking for a novel way to measure the dry density of tailings as it desaturates due to an evaporation potential.
I am trying to establish the relationship between moisture content and dry density. As a tailings settles out from the slurry it remains saturated and so working out the dry...
@oldestguy Yes agricultural scientist have done a lot of work on this subject. I guess I want to know how the strength of a soil changes as it desaturates and if the suction pressures give an indication of matrix suctions. Which brings it to the Goetechnical area. Will have a look at the...
I have two questions concerning tests to determine the soil water content suction relationship:
1. Are the Filter Paper Method and the Pressure Plate Method the only two methods available to determine suction pressures in soils?
2. What do the respective tests actually measure and will they...
Hi
I am trying to understand a paper on the evaporation of water from bare soil. They have graphs of net radiation on the earth surface, latent heat of evaporation and soil heat flux. Below this is a graph comparing A Pan evaporation to Energy Balance evapotranspiration in cumulative mm of...
