Sentence examples for dry silt from inspiring English sources

For this paper the samples were characterized by particle size (percent sand, silt, and clay), dry silt content (used in EPA-recommended fugitive dust emission factors), carbon and nitrogen content, and potential to emit both PM10 and PM2.5.

The soil in many places has become less naturally productive and rivers are running dry and silting up.

Dry soil particles of silt or clay size can be transported over great distance by wind.

Over long stretches of time between the great floods, dry winds deposited silt.

Ks was linearly and negatively correlated with dry soil bulk density (ρb) (r2 = 0.73), and to a lesser extent silt plus clay percentage (Si + C) (r2 = 0.21).

Dry density is plotted against silt content for different relative densities in Fig. 26.

Analysis of particle size of the soil that was used for this purpose indicated the presence (%, dry weight) of sand, 50; silt, 36; clay, 14.

After the LFC, dry density is decreasing with increasing silt content but permeability remains constant till pure silt.

From Fig. 26 (for D r  = 60%) it is observed that after the LFC, dry density is decreasing with increasing silt content but permeability remain constant till pure silt.

It is seen that for same relative density, dry density increases slightly with increasing silt content up to LFC and again decreases with increasing silt content more than LFC.

In Fig. 4, maximum dry density increased with increase in silt content thereafter decreased; on the other hand minimum dry density decreased with increase in silt content.
