The cracking control of plain concrete slabs on soil foundation requires the execution of joints with mechanisms of load transfer between adjacent panels. These joints increase the construction costs and, often, are the source of local damage and loss of service performance. Slabs reinforced with st

An objective of this paper is to demonstrate that the small strain model developed by the authors can be incorporated into the conventional kinematic hardening plasticity framework to predict pre-failure deformations. The constitutive model described in this paper is constituted by three elliptical
Data are presented of vertical profiles of soil water potential and soil temperature from a field lysimeter experiment with automatic water-table control at Silwood Park, Ascot, UK. The observed water-table fluxes confirm the analysis of profile response, which shows a diurnal pattern of upward wate
A capacitance probe has been employed to measure the spatial and temporal change of soil moisture in a weathered soil proยฎle with heterogeneous texture characteristics. Measurements were made to a depth of 2 m at intervals of 2 cm. The ยฎeld work was carried out during a wetting-up period in a subtro
The behaviour of รpronil, a phenylpyrazole insecticide used for locust control, was studied under sub-Saharan conditions in soils of the Niamey region of Niger. A formulation of รpronil was applied to uncultivated soils at (Adonis}) Banizoumbou and Saguia. Soil was sampled at 0ร10, 10ร20 and 20ร30 c
