Soil Dispersivity Potential of Irrigation Canals in Arid and Semi-Arid Areas by the Influence of Electromagnetic Waves in the Chemical Method: Khuzestan- A Case Study

An accurate study of the physical-chemical properties of soil has a significant effect on the determination of mechanical parameters, classification and evaluation of soils, and the civil project management aspects. The obtained accurate results of the chemical parameters of soil can determine the type and amount of cement or lime used in stabilizing the problematic soils, which leads to better estimation of sub-channel substrate consolidation behavior, accuracy in engineering designs, and so on. Previous researches showed that the chemical changes such as increasing soil solutes are one of the affecting factors on the change of the mechanical parameters of the soil [1-3]. In this study, the effect of the waves on the saturated paste and the saturation extract was presented as a novel method in order to determine the soil chemical parameters as well as the soil dispersivity potential more precisely. Also, the effect of the waves on the arid and semi-arid regions can be considered as one of the environmental parameters affecting the solubility of solutes in the saturated soil and pre estimated dispersive and semi-dispersive of the soils.
