The analysis of some physical properties of drained peat-moorsh soil layers
Journal Title: Annals of Warsaw University of Life Sciences – SGGW. Land Reclamation - Year 2013, Vol 45, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper presents the results of measurements of some physical properties for 14 drained fen peat-moorsh layers (degree of decomposition, bulk density, particle density, porosity and saturated moisture content). The soil samples were taken from north-east, central and east part of Poland. These areas were drained in order to use as a grassland and meadows. The article presents obtained data of selected physical properties from several drained peatlands in Poland and shows the comparison of established results with relevant data published in literature.

Some geomechanical properties of a biopolymer treated medium sand
This paper presents a laboratory assessment of geomechanical properties of sandy soil improved by biopolymer application. Additives (biosubstance) consist of polysaccharides and water. Biosubstance used in the project wa...
Prediction of free field heave using C[sub]W[/sub] and C[sub]H [/sub]indices
In order to predict free heave in expansive silty clays two methods were applied: CLOD test and double-swelling methods. In both methods C[sub]W[/sub] and C[sub]H[/sub] indices are required respectively to determine the...
Impact of the moisture content in medium sands on CPTU test results
Soils occurring in the soil “active zone” are in contact with the surface and are directly influenced by external factors (mainly climatic changes) that causa variation in their parameters over time. Dynamic and uncontro...
Linkage of “Lakes Zwenkau-Cospuden” as one of the elements of land reclamation after the open-cast mines and its future importance for the development of the region
The open-cast mine “Böhlen”, closed in 1921, in 1969 was transformed into “Zwenkau”(“Zw”) open-cast mine. In the seventies, together with its smaller neighbouring mine “Cospuden”(“Cs”), became one of the greatest enterpr...
Vertical and horizontal permeability measurements in organic soils
The paper is referring to vertical and horizontal laboratory permeability measurements in soft organic soils. The estimation of anisotropic permeability in soft organic soils, as peats, requires to use a special apparatu...
