Reliability and Remediation Cost of Optimal Remediation Design Considering Uncertainty in Aquifer Parameters
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Reliability of a “preassumed” optimal remediation design using a pump and treat method is evaluated. A “true” hydraulic conductivity field with a certain spatial correlation is supposed. Hydraulic conductivity values are ...
Remediation of TCE-Contaminated Groundwater in a Sandy Aquifer Using Pulsed Air Sparging: Laboratory and Numerical Studies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The objective of this study was to investigate, through laboratory and numerical investigations, the effectiveness of a pulsed air sparging system for remediation of groundwater contaminated with trichloroethylene (TCE) ...
Simple Analysis of Framed-Tube Structures with Multiple Internal Tubes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A framed-tube system with multiple internal tubes is analyzed using an orthotropic box beam analogy approach in which each tube is individually modeled by a box beam that accounts for the flexural and shear deformations ...
Biologically Reactive Multispecies Transport in Sanitary Landfill
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study proposes a numerical model for gas- and water-phase solute transport describing the change in leachate quality and gas production by microbial activities in a sanitary landfill. The proposed model includes gas ...
Efficient Method for Estimating Groundwater Head in the Vicinity of the Underground Gas Storage Caverns in Fractured Media
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Water tightness is an essential factor for the operation of underground highly pressurized gas storage caverns. To secure this tightness, the groundwater pressure must be greater than the gas pressure, and the groundwater ...
Attenuation of Petroleum Hydrocarbons in Smear Zones: A Case Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Soil and ground water in a shallow aquifer were contaminated by petroleum hydrocarbons, mostly comprised of toluene. The degrees of soil and ground-water contamination were closely correlated. The vertical profile of soil ...
Numerical Evaluation of Landfill Stabilization by Leachate Circulation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study compares various leachate management scenarios using a biologically reactive transport model, which is proposed in this study. The proposed model can be used to predict the contribution of biodegradation to ...
