Microstructural Interpretation on Reliquefaction of Saturated Granular Soils under Cyclic Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: It is well known that the resistance to liquefaction of a saturated sand decreases sharply when it has been presheared, either cyclically or quasi statically, beyond a threshold value. The possible mechanism is discussed ...
Extreme Compaction Effects on Gas Transport Parameters and Estimated Climate Gas Exchange for a Landfill Final Cover Soil
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Landfill sites have been implicated in greenhouse warming scenarios as a significant source of atmospheric methane. In this study, the effects of extreme compaction on the two main soil-gas transport parameters, the gas ...
Transport and Deposition of Suspended Soil Colloids in Saturated Sand Columns
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Understanding colloid mobilization, transport, and deposition in the subsurface is a prerequisite for predicting colloid-facilitated transport of strongly adsorbing contaminants and further developing remedial activities. ...
Gas Transport Parameters for Compacted Reddish-Brown Soil in Sri Lankan Landfill Final Cover
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Gas exchange through the compacted final cover soil at landfill sites plays a vital role for emission, fate, and transport of toxic landfill gases. This study involved measuring the soil-gas diffusivity (
Adsorption of Cd(II) and Pb(II) onto Humic Acid–Treated Coconut (<i>Cocos nucifera</i>) Husk
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study was conducted to characterize the adsorption of
