...Shay Nachum The use of time domain reflectometry (TDR) to monitor soil water content at either field or laboratory scales is highly common. Regarding the soil dry density, ρ d , effect on the TDR application, three main approaches are found in the literature: (1) Ignore the density issue and use...

...Dina Kuttah It is well known that the determination of fundamental engineering properties of materials is the key to their inclusion within quality control assessments and pavement design. Although using of maximum dry density and optimum moisture content has been widely accepted in quality control...

... thermal conductivity, moisture content, and dry density. Based on the test results, recommendations have been provided regarding the use of thermo-TDR probes for geothermal applications. 02 02 2015 29 04 2015 24 09 2015 thermo-TDR probe thermal conductivity moisture content dry...

... construction. In this laboratory work, the effects of dry density and gravimetric water content on the soil bulk resistivity are considered separately. Furthermore, the effect of air index on electrical resistivity is demonstrated. Our data exhibit two distinct trends separated by a “critical” water content...

...JP Prashanth; PV Sivapullaiah; A Sridharan The compaction curves of soils are generally expressed in terms of dry density and water content. While this representation serves well to compare the efficiency of compaction of different soils whose specific gravities lie in a narrow range (2.6 to 2.7...
