Abstract: A laboratory comparison is made between the ability to steam strip organic contaminants from soil in the confined state and the ability to do so in the “fluidized” state. The soil used was a 50/50 mixture of beach sand and ...

Abstract: In an attempt to develop an acoustic emission (AE) field procedure to directly determine preconsolidation pressures, laboratory feasibility tests on granular soils (published earlier as a companion paper; Ref. 7) and on ...

Abstract: This project is aimed at the development of a technique, based on acoustic emission (AE) monitoring, to assess preconsolidation pressures (in all soils) in the field. Envisioned is a three part program: (1) Technical ...
