Propriedades físico-hídricas, compactação do solo, desenvolvimento radicular e produtividade da soja em diferentes manejos de solo

A cultura da soja (Glycine Max L.) faz parte da rotação de culturas praticadas pelos irrigantes do sudoeste paulista, os quais praticam o plantio direto como forma de uso sustentável do solo. O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar o efeito dessa prática conservacionista sobre as propriedades físico-hídricas do solo, sobre sua compactação, sobre o desenvolvimento radicular e sobre a produtividade da cultura da soja, comparativamente com o preparo convencional. O experimento foi conduzido na Fazenda Buriti-Mirim, município de Angatuba, SP (23º30'13" S, 48º35'37" W; 640m), durante o segundo semestre de 2003, utilizando uma área de Argissolo Acinzentado irrigada por pivô central, dividida em dois tipos de manejo do solo preparo convencional e plantio direto. Embora no plantio direto tenha-se encontrado maior densidade do solo, menor quantidade de água disponível e menor resistência do solo à penetração, os dois manejos não diferiram quanto ao desenvolvimento radicular e a produtividade da soja.

Efeito de dois sistemas de manejo do solo nas propriedades físico-hídricas, desenvolvimento radicular e produtividade do milho

Corn cultivation is part of crop rotation used by irrigation farmers from the southwestern region of São Paulo state, Brazil, who use no-tillage soil management as a kind of sustainable use of soil. The effect of this conservative practice on physical and hydrical properties of the soil, root development and corn crop yield compared to the conventional management was the objective of this work. The experiment was held at the Buriti-Mirim Farm, Angatuba, SP, Brazil, using an irrigated area with a center pivot system and two types of soil management: conventional and no-tillage systems. Although the no-tillage management had higher soil density and less water availability, no significant difference was found for both management systems concerning soil resistance to penetration, root development and crop yield. In both systems of soil management, 90% of roots were concentrated in the first 0-20cm of soil layer.

Resistência ao cisalhamento de contactos solo-rocha

Nos estudos referentes à estabilidade de maciços rochosos, é de capital importância a identificação dos planos de fraqueza do maciço rochoso. Estes planos de fraques condicionam a estabilidade do maciço, tanto mais quanto mais adversa a posição dos mesmos com relação ás tensões cisalhantes atuantes. De modo geral, os planos de fraqueza consistem de camadas e intercalações de rocha fraca ou alterada, ou de fraturas e outras descontinuidades as quais são frequentemente preenchidas por solo. Quando uma intercalação de solo, argilito, folhelho, etc, apresenta-se em intercalação a camadas de rochas duras, (ou mesmo de preenchimentos alterados de fraturas e falhas) tem sido prática comum adotar a resistência ao cisalhamento do material de preenchimento como sendo o valor mais baixo da resistência da descontinuidade. Entretanto, conforme foi sugerido por Patton (1968), existe a hipótese de que a prática acima não seja válida, e que a resistência ao cisalhamento do contacto seja inferior à obtida para o solo de preenchimento propriamente dito. O objetivo desta investigação é o de iniciar o estudo da resistência ao cisalhamento de contactos solo-rocha, e de compara essa resistência às do solo e da rocha obtidas separadamente

Análise de microestrutura e de características geotécnicas de misturas de resíduo de polimento de porcelanato e solo

Brazil is a country in development, rich in natural resources. In order to grow sustainably, it is necessary to Brazil to preserve its environment, which is an expressive challenge, especially to industries, such as those producing ceramic materials. This study was developed using Porcelain Tile Polishing Residue (RPP) in blends with soil to build compacted fills. This residue is a slurry generated during the polishing process of porcelain tiles and contains powdery material from the polished tile, the abrasives used during the process and cooling water. The RPP was collected from a private company located in Conde/PB and it was mixed with a sandy-clayey soil, to build the fills. Laboratorial tests were conducted with pure soil, pure RPP and blends in proportions of 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% of RPP in addition to the dry mass of pure soil. The Chemical and Physical Characterization tests performed were: specific solid weight, grain size distribution, laser analysis of grain size distribution, Atterberg limits, X ray fluorescence, X ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and soil compaction,. The materials and blends were also compacted and direct shear tests and plate load tests were performed. Plate load tests were conducted using a circular plate with 30 cm diameter, on specimens of pure soil and 5% blend, compacted in a metallic box inside the Soil Mechanics Laboratory of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. Both mechanical tests performed were conducted under inundated conditions, willing to reduce the influence of soil suction. An evaluation of the results of the tests performed shows that RPP is a fine material, with grain size distribution smaller than 0,015mm, composed mainly of silica and alumina, and particles in angular shape. The soil was characterized as a clayey sand, geologically known as a lateritic soil, with high percentages of alumina and iron oxide, and particles with rounded shape. Both the Soil and the blends presented low plasticity, while the residue showed a medium plasticity. Direct shear tests showed that the addition of RPP did not cause major changes into blends’ friction angle data, however, it was possible to note that, for the proportions studied, that is a tendency of obtain lower shear stresses for higher percentages of RPP in the blends. Both pure soil and 5% mixture showed a punching disruption for the Plate load test. For this same test, the allowable stress for 5% mixture was 44% higher than the pure soil, and smaller vertical settlement results for all stresses.
