## Abstract Timeβdomain reflectometry (TDR) is increasingly used for field soil water estimation because the measurement is nonβdestructive and less affected by soil texture, bulk density and temperature. However, with the increase in instrument resolution, the influences of soil bulk density and t
Standard triaxial compression tests were carried out on an agricultural sandy loam soil to assess the effect of soil dry bulk density and moisture content on soil mechanical properties, namely, cohesion, internal friction angle, Young's modulus of elasticity and Poisson's ratio. Regression analyses
Pre-compaction can occur as a result of a combination of soil settlement and the effect of field machinery operations and, therefore, provides some insight into the loading history of a soil. By limiting stress to below that which determined the pre-compaction, the risk of further damage to the soil
