This book was released on 2019-06-22 with total page 802 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume gathers the latest advances, innovations, and applications in the field of geotechnical engineering, as presented by leading researchers and engineers at the 7th Italian National Congress of Geotechnical Researchers (CNRIG 2019), entitled “Geotechnical Research for the Protection and Development of the Territory” (Lecco, Italy, July 3-5, 2019). The congress is intended to promote exchanges on the role of geotechnical research and its findings regarding the protection against natural hazards, design criteria for structures and infrastructures, and the definition of sustainable development strategies. The contributions cover a diverse range of topics, including infrastructural challenges, underground space utilization, and sustainable construction in problematic soils and situations, as well as geo-environmental aspects such as landfills, environmental and energy geotechnics, geotechnical monitoring, and risk assessment and mitigation. Selected by means of a rigorous peer-review process, they will spur novel research directions and foster future multidisciplinary collaborations.

Download or read book Microstructure of Smectite Clays and Engineering Performance written by Roland Pusch and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2006-08-21 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Certain wastes such as nuclear wastes, are so hazardous that their disposal creates a major challenge requiring considerable technical skill and understanding. Their effective isolation in the ground depends on the properties of the surrounding clays. This authoritative book explains the detailed function of clay-based engineered barriers, gives a number of examples of the design and construction of successful sites, and sets out conceptual and theoretical models for the prediction of their performance. It begins by providing a scientific grounding in the relevant aspects of clay science and successively moves onto the practicalities, while retaining the scientific slant. It will be useful for students, and invaluable for research institutes, specialists in environmental protection agencies and consultants in the field of disposal of hazardous waste.
Download or read book Advanced Experimental Unsaturated Soil Mechanics written by Alessandro Tarantino and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2005-07-14 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of experimental unsaturated soil mechanics has grown considerably over the last decade. In the laboratory and in the field, innovative techniques have been introduced into mechanical, hydraulic, and geo-environmental testing. Normally, this information is widely dispersed throughout journals and conference proceedings and it is often difficult to identify suitable equipment and instrumentation for research or professional purposes. In this volume, however, the authors bring together the latest research in laboratory and field testing techniques, and the equipment employed, and examine the current state-of-the-art in a forum devoted solely to experimental unsaturated soil mechanics. The papers published in the proceedings were peer-reviewed by internationally-recognized researchers. The topics tackled by the papers include suction measurement, suction control, mechanical and hydraulic laboratory testing, geo-environmental testing, and field-testing.
Download or read book Their World A Diversity of Microbial Environments written by Christon J. Hurst and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-02 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume summarizes recent advances in environmental microbiology by providing fascinating insights into the diversity of microbial life that exists on our planet. The first two chapters present theoretical perspectives that help to consolidate our understanding of evolution as an adaptive process by which the niche and habitat of each species develop in a manner that interconnects individual components of an ecosystem. This results in communities that function by simultaneously coordinating their metabolic and physiologic actions. The third contribution addresses the fossil record of microorganisms, and the subsequent chapters then introduce the microbial life that currently exists in various terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Coverage of the geosphere addresses endolithic organisms, life in caves and the deep continental biosphere, including how subsurface microbial life may impact spent nuclear fuel repositories. The discussion of the hydrosphere includes hypersaline environments and arctic food chains. By better understanding examples from the micro biosphere, we can elucidate the many ways in which the niches of different species, both large and small, interconnect within the overlapping habitats of this world, which is governed by its microorganisms.

Download or read book A Further Study of Cation Effects on the Physical Properties of Clays written by Alexander Bruce Hamilton and published by . This book was released on 1961 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis presents the effects of different adsorbed cations on some physical properties of a typical highly plastic Alberta clay. Homionic calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium clays and samples of clay with varying quantities of sodium and calcium cations adsorbed, were produced. The natural clay was classified by standard tests which included cation exchange capacity and flame photometric determination of exchangeable cations. For the modified and natural soils, the Atterberg limits, shrinkage and swelling, permeability and consolidation characteristics were determined. The calcium and magnesium cations did not appreciably alter any of the physical properties of the clay. The sodium cation caused large increases in plasticity, compressibility and swelling and substantially decreased permeability. The potassium cation decreased plasticity, compressibility and permeability and slightly increased swelling. The sodium cation, when adsorbed in varying quantities on a calcium clay, caused definite changes in the physical properties of the soil. With small additions of sodium, the compressibility, plasticity, amount of swelling and permeability decreased. Further additions of adsorbed sodium caused permeability to decrease further, and compressibility, plasticity and swelling gradually increased, approaching the values for an homionic sodium clay. It is postulated that the cations may be divided into two groups depending upon their effects on the physical properties: flocculants, such as calcium and magnesium, and dispersants, such as sodium. Th potassium cation exhibited characteristics of each group. Recommendations for further research are included.
