Hands-On Undergraduate Geotechnical Engineering Modules in the Context of Effective Learning Pedagogies, ABET Outcomes, and Our Curricular Reform
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Hands-on inquiry-based educational modules were designed for two undergraduate geotechnical engineering courses at the University of Vermont. The modules were designed to achieve three objectives: (1) meet the goals of our ...
Low-Temperature Soil Heating Using Renewable Energy
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Data from a pilot study, in which renewable energy was used for low-temperature subsurface heating in a northern climate, suggests that such an approach may be useful for remediating low permeable soils. Low-temperature ...
Activated Carbon for Removing Tetrachloroethylene from Alcohol Solutions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Alcohol (cosolvent) flooding is a relatively new, in situ technique for enhancing the removal of organic solvents from groundwater aquifers. Recovery of the alcohol for reinjection is important for ensuring the cost-effectiveness ...
Change in Gasoline Constituent Mass Transfer during Soil Venting
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The mass transfer of gasoline constituents [benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes (BTEX), and naphthalene] to air during laboratory‐simulated soil vapor extraction (referred to here as soil venting) was determined. Soil ...
