Damage to homes, tree debris and piles of sand that washed up along coasts are the main complaints. No fatalities have been reported. In Sarasota, trees tumbled into roofs and roadways, many traffic lights are dark, and power outages are widespread the morning after Hurricane Milton tore through here as a powerful, Category 3 storm.
The co-injection of steam and CO 2 into oil sands reservoirs has proved to be one of the most efficient and environmentally friendly methods to produce bitumen. Nevertheless, the condensation mechanism of steam in the reservoir is film-wise condensation under the effect of CO 2, which reduces the heat transfer efficiency of steam.To obtain accurate oil …
The coefficient of earth pressure at rest (K0) is a crucial parameter in geotechnical design. In this study, coral sands with various initial relative densities were subjected to K0 consolidation tests and consolidated-drained triaxial compression tests to investigate the impact of the relative density, stress level, and particle breakage on K0. …
The trend of component fill factor with a density of accumulated sand is divided into two stages: at 0–35 g/m 2, with the increase of sand density, component temperature decreases, the fill factor increases and peaks at 35 g/m 2 (component temperature valley); meanwhile, at 35–45 g/m 2, with an increase in accumulated sand …
The primary focus of the correlations is the effect of added sand. Following sections will address sand's effect on soil consistency, shrinkage, Proctor density and moisture, oedometric modulus (E oed), …
External factors can also affect the soil water infiltration process. For instance, vegetation can impact the performance of soil water infiltration by changing soil texture and pore structure (Guo et al., 2019, He and Richards, 2017), and freezing-thawing cycles can influence soil water movement (Gao et al., 2021).
A series of laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of the dry density and thickness of the sand pad on the impact pressure applied to the soil surface, the earth pressure ...

The resulting sample of sand was totally different from the original sand samples. The sample showed increase in dry density as the sample moved toward ideal grading
The total sand transport rate (q t) was calculated as follows: (3) q t = ∑ i = 1 30 m i w × t where m i is the mass of sand material in the i-th sample chamber of the sand trap (kg), which included the mass of quartz sand and abraded soil samples during the saltation process; w is the width of the sand inlet of the sand trap (0.02 m); and t ...
