Keeping the soil around your home stable and managing water levels can help prevent further settling and cracking. If you’re unsure whether water seepage is an issue in your home, here are some ...

Internal erosion and seepage flow in granular soils are critical topics in geotechnical engineering, particularly concerning the stability and integrity of soil structures. These phenomena can ...

In civil engineering, quicksand is more than just a puddle of mud! The "quick condition" occurs when seepage reduces the ...

A worm burrows its way through the dark earth, ingesting particles of soil and expelling nutrient-rich casts in a constant forage for food. Charles Darwin described earthworms as one of the most ...

This website, Purdue Soil Health, provides hands-on soil health educational activities for high school teachers, a photo and video library, and general information about Purdue soil health research ...

Typical tests performed in this laboratory include hydraulic conductivity of saturated and unsaturated soils, seepage-induced consolidation of soft soils, and multi-phase flow experiments. This ...

We have excellent teaching, research, and outreach programs in the areas of plant biology (cellular, genetics, genomics, microbial, molecular and physiology), agronomy (including pathology, soil ...

Soils can be thought of as storehouses for plant nutrients. Many nutrients, such as calcium and magnesium, may be supplied to plants solely from reserves held in the soil. Others like potassium are ...
