A simplified and rapid technique to determine an aggregate stability coefficient in coarse grained soils

Soil aggregation determines soil structure and hence influences soil physical, chemical and biological processes. To express soil aggregate stability a variety of indices are discussed in literature. However, the available measures are more suitable to soils with low stone contents while there is cu...
