Effects of Clay Content and Temperature on Crude Oil (Nonvolatile Components) Transport in Unsaturated Soils: Centrifuge Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Surface soil contamination due to oil spill is one of the major environmental concerns. The extent of the contaminated depth governs the design and installation of remediation method and monitoring system. Physical modeling ...
Mechanistic Model for One-Dimensional Consolidation Behavior of Nonsegregating Oil Sands Tailings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Thermal-chemical-hydraulic separation process is used to extract bitumen from surface mined oil sands ores. Huge amounts of oil sands fine tailings are produced from the extraction process. The most fundamentally challenging ...
In Situ Pore Pressure Responses of Native Peat and Soil under Train Load: A Case Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Settlement and formation of piping holes on surfaces were observed along a rail embankment subject to normal traffic load. Piezometers were installed in the native peat and soil underneath the embankment inside and outside ...
