Ohmic Conductivity of a Compacted Silty Clay
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In its natural state, loess can be considered as an unstable soil, which develops large deformations when moistened. In Argentina, loess is used in most Geotechnical constructions, including embankments and liners. The ...
Removal of Immiscible Contaminants from Sandy Soils Monitored by Means of Dielectric Measurements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The main objective of this paper is to explore the potential application of electromagnetic waves to evaluate the effect of contaminant removal in granular soils. Thus, various specimens of saturated silica sand were ...
Instability of Hydrocarbon Films over Mineral Surfaces: Microscale Experimental Studies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The fluid-mineral interaction defines the affinity of mineral surfaces for water in the presence of oil, determines wettability, affects interparticle forces, and controls the effectiveness of soil decontamination and oil ...
