This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Soil respiration measurement is an important tool in environmental studies and, less often, in agricultural applications. There exists various methods of measuring and quantifying this release of CO2 from the soil surface. Currently, the three main working principles in point source measurement chamber designs are: closed dynamic chambers (or non-steady-state flow-through chambers); closed static chambers (or non-steady-state non-flow-through chambers); and open chambers (or steady-state flow-through chambers). These methods can be expensive and time consuming. The Rapid Soil CO2 Analyzer (RSCA) developed in this project was built around a low-cost Non Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) sensor and aimed at providing a faster alternative to closed static chambers and a cheaper on to the closed dynamic and open chambers. The working principle shifted from passive air diffusion inside the chambers to forced extraction by the creation of negative pressure in the headspace. The RSCA reads and logs three-minute long, point-based sensor response measurements of CO2 concentrations, temperature, humidity, and pressure in the headspace, as well as the location and time from the start of the trial.The device was built and its main CO¬2 sensor tested for this application. It was found to be accurate in stable conditions when compared to samples tested using a gas chromatograph equipped with a Flame Ionization Detector (FID) and an Electron Capture Detector (ECD). A dedicated software application in both MATLAB® and PythonTM was developed to process the raw data from the device and extract the relevant defining parameters. The RSCA was tested in parallel to closed static chambers at three different locations in southern Quebec. An attempt at modeling the RSCA data to relate it to the processed flux data of the static chambers was inconclusive as no strong correlation could be found. A controlled experiment was designed as a 2 by 4 factorial on homogenised soil, including two levels of compaction and four levels of moisture. Glucose was later added as a third factor in an attempt to push respiration levels to their potential maximums and magnify the differences. In result, the compaction x soil moisture interaction as well as the addition of glucose was found to have a significant effect on measured soil respiration at p

This book was released on 2013-09-24 with total page 729 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Field Instrumentation in Geotechnical Engineering documents the proceedings of a symposium of the same name organized by the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering. The said symposium covers the developments in the instruments and techniques in field instrumentation. The book is divided into two parts. Part 1 covers the 37 papers included in the symposium, which cover topics such as the measurement of spatial deformations; the measurement of in situ stress and strain for solids, earth pressure and anchor forces; ground round displacement; and techniques and equipment using the surveyors lever. Part 2, on the other hand, covers the sessions during the symposium, which include topics such as different principles of measurement; the application of instrumentation; and interpretation of their results. The text is recommended for those in the field of geotechnical engineering who would like to know more about instrumentation and the processes and techniques involved in it.
