California bearing ratio for cohesive soils from quasi static cone tests
(Kyambogo University[unpublished work], 2022-10)
In the majority of nations, the test most frequently employed to identify flexible pavement
layers is the California Bearing Ratio (CBR). To get around the test's high cost,
inconvenience, and length, Quasi static cone ...
Contribution of climatic variability and human activities to stream flow changes in the Haraz River basin, Northern Iran
(Journal of Hydro-environment Research, 2019-06)
In northern Iran’s Haraz River basin between 1975 and 2010, hydrological sensitivity, double mass curve, and Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) methods were applied to monitoring and analysing changes in stream flow ...
