Simulation is a modus operandi often used for imitating real-world processes. It involves a system and set of assumptions used for computing a numerical model, from which the outcome is an estimate of the true characteristics of how the system behave

Engineering buildings and other structures such as dams and roadways require soil compaction during construction, so as to limit settling of structures after construction. Optimum water content that results in the maximum soil density is normally des

Surface water treatment plants in Trinidad are incapable of filtering highly turbid water. Water treatment operations are shut down whenever turbidity levels rise during or after rainfall. The aim of this research is to determine the physical propert

The effect of incorporation of peat into soils of diverse texture on soil strength and splash detachment rates during simulated rainfall was examined in the laboratory. Soil penetration resistance (an index of soil strength) and splash detachment by

Soil strength estimates from shear vane, Proctor and drop cone penetrometer were obtained alongside cohesion and angle of internal friction measured with the triaxial test. Two organic materials (peat and farmyard manure) were incorporated at the rat

Direct impact of intense tropical rainfall following deforestation and other deleterious land practices is one of the major causes of land degradation in the Caribbean. The susceptibility of the exposed soil to degradation depends on the cohesive str

The apparent bulk electrical conductivity (σa) of eleven soils from Trinidad tropic region was measured in the field and the laboratory with a portable Field Scout soil water content/electrical conductivity probe. The effect on σa of compacting thr

A laboratory facility was built and used to test the wash erosion from three Trinidadian soils (a sandy loam, clay loam and clay), after application of a soil stabiliser (Soiltac) at four concentrations and when exposed at four slopes (9%, 15%, 21%an

In the humid tropics, soil erosion due to the impact of high-intensity tropical rainfall is one of the important environmental problems. A quick assessment of slaking sensitivity of soils that are frequently subjected to the fast wetting of intense r
