This book discusses how sediments compact with depth and and applications of the compaction trends. Porosity reduction in sediment conveniently indicates the degree of sediments compacted after deposition. Published empirical curves- the compaction curves- are depth-wise porosit…

Loess and loess geohazards in China
by Li, Yanrong, Li, Bin, Zhao, Jingui
fromA Balkema Book
"As a newly formed sediment, loess covers about 10% of the Earth's surface area. The loess covered areas are regions of dense industrial and agricultural development and population concentration in the World, and are also significant in wheat production. This book represents a v…
