Maximum Water Content

Concrete road works on the improvement of the Jepara - Kedungmalang - Pecangaan road are the activities of the Publick Works Department of Highways in Central Java Province. Quality control in a building structure work is very important to support the strength of the structure. In planning the road structure, it is necessary to have density of soil and foundation layers that meet the requirements. To get the value of the degree of density that is from the sandcone test where in the sandcone test there are several standart methods or references for example from AASHTO T 191 and ASTM D 1556 - 64. In this study the aims is to obtain the value of the degree of density, how big is the difference between the AASHTO T 191 standart and ASTM D 1556 - 64, and know the water content. From the test result, the optimum moisture content value is 6.5%, dry density is 2.17gr/cm3, the value of the degree of density mostly ranges from ">100%, and the minimum water content value is 5.00% maximum water content is 6.7%.

Compacted Loess

Compression and collapse of unsaturated compacted loess are studied by using dry density and water content which easily controlled in engineering, the controlling range of dry density and water content are confirmed respectively. Then the deformation of compression and collapse and the frequency of engineering damager occurrence can be decreased. In addition, the mechanical characteristics of loess in different directions may differ because the loess was consolidated only under the condition of its upper weight of soil and load. The conventional mechanical experiments, including one-dimensional compress and collapse test, were conducted with the specimen of loess soil in different angle from the original horizontal plane. The test result shows that the loess is anisotropic

Maximum Water Content

Tests were made on the water dynamics of water loss in maize at two locations at major maize production areas, Debrecen and Szeged, as a function of the heat sum required up to physiological ripening. The maximum water content was found to vary according to the hybrid and the year. No significant differences were found between the effective heat sums associated with maximum values within a year, the difference being 2-4 calendar days. There was a close correlation between the maximum grain water content and the length of the generative phase for a given hybrid in a given year. Better water supplies (1998) resulted in higher maximum water content values, which indirectly promoted longer and more intensive dry matter incorporation. Of all the environmental parameters, the drying down rate is primarily determined by the temperature. The changes in grain moisture content in a specific hybrid can be characterised by a joint linear graph. The drying down rate of the individual hybrids was determined by examining the b term of the linear equation.

Water Contents

To better understand the overall hydromechanical behaviour of interlayer soil, the compaction behaviour of one of the two components — the portion of fines (<4 mm) that is sensitive to water content changes — was investigated. The standard Proctor compaction curves were first determined for the soils. Then, the maximum shear modulus, Gmax, and suction were measured on samples statically compacted at an identical dry density, but different remoulding water contents. The changes in Gmax reveal the existence of a characteristic water content corresponding to the maximum Gmax. The results also show that this characteristic water content increases with the soil plasticity, being similar to the variation trend of optimum water content with soil plasticity. A bimodal pattern was observed from the plot of total suction ψ versus the slope of water content w–log(ψ) curve. The suction corresponding to the maximum Gmax is close to the lowest point between the two peaks in the ψ–dw/dlog(ψ) curve. A reasonable explanation was attempted for the correspondence between the “optimum water content” defined by the maximum value of Gmax and the corresponding suction. The difference between the static and dynamic compactions was also explained in terms of suction values.

AbstractMesoperthite feldspars from hypersolvus granites, with granulite-facies mineralogy from the Scourian complex, N.W. Scotland have an average bulk composition of (Ab0.58Or0.42)88An12. The mesoperthites have an Ab/Or ratio close to the critical composition of the alkali feldspar solvus for anorthite-free compositions. The critical temperature of the ternary feldspar solvus is estimated at high anorthite contents and used to indicate a temperature in excess of 1000°C for the crystallization of the granite sheets prior to granulite-facies metamorphism and permits a maximum water content in the melt of 1%.

Thermal properties of Brain, gill, hepatopancreas, muscle and blood of Carassius living in 8°C were investigated by differential scanning calorimeter. Between 20°C～-40°C , blood showed lower specific heat capacity than other organs. It might help temperature equilibrium in organism. Blood and brain had higher freezing temperature. Brain showed the maximum water content but less freeze water while ventral muscle had the lowest water content but high freeze-able water. Hepatopancreas had both low water and freeze-able water content.

Test Result

The plasma in the eolian sand, included silt particle and clay particle, change easily and hugely. For studying their influences on the strength property of eolian sand, mixed silt particles and clay particles in different proportion into the eolian sand to carry out CBR test. The test result indicates that, along with the increase of silt particle and clay particle content the CBR value also increases within a certain range, which indicates the increase of silt particle and clay particle content can firstly improve the gradation of eolian sand; after the gradation is improved can obtain large compaction dry density, and at the same time also can enhance the earth strength, included the CBR value. The range of silt particle and clay particle content made the CBR value increase is also very large: ≤40% when formed under dry state, and ≤45% when formed under optimum or saturated water content; if the water content in forming could be retained at all times, the former could be ≤55% and the latter still ≤45%. The mechanism analysis further indicates that, when there were no excessive silt particles and clay particles, in the large range of silt particles and clay particles changing from small to large, the engineering nature of eolian sand will be improved due to the improvement of gradation, which is advantageous to the extensive application of dry compaction process; but the eolian sand formed by dry compaction is defective on microstructure, and so the requirements for silt particle and clay particle content should be more strict in practical works.

Abstract Background: The construction of the Three Gorges-Gezhou Dam altered the water level fluctuation pattern in the downstream habitat of the endangered species Myricaria laxiflora. This study investigated how branch and leaf growth traits of M. laxiflora remnant populations changed to adapt the environmental stress caused by human-altered water level fluctuations.Results:Due to such disturbance, branch and leaf growth traits of M. laxiflora populations exhibited significant differences across water level conditions. The number of secondary branches, plant height, and leaf number of the plants in the upper area of the habitat were significantly higher than that in the middle and lower river bank areas. The longest secondary branch length of the plants in the upper and middle region was significantly higher than that in the lower region. The branch and leaf volume of plants in the middle region was significantly higher than that in the upper and lower region. The maximum water content of plants in the middle and lower region was significantly higher than that in the upper region. Principal component analysis showed that the branch and leaf traits of plants changed with decreasing water level toward to decreasing plant height, leaf number and the number of secondary branches, and increasing maximum water content of branch and leaves. Conclusions: The phenotypic plasticity of M. laxiflora plants in branch and leaf growth traits alleviates the impacts of human-regulated water level fluctuations. However, the above ground growth of M. laxiflora plants distributed at the middle and lower areas of the fluctuation zone is still negatively affected.
