Book Ratiocinative Design Criteria for Membrane enveloped Fine grained Soil Layers

Download or read book Ratiocinative Design Criteria for Membrane enveloped Fine grained Soil Layers written by George M. Hammitt and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This investigation consists of full-scale testing, laboratory evaluation, and presentation of improved design criteria using membrane-enveloped fine-grained soil (MESL) within pavement layers. The research provides a description of proven materials and necessary construction techniques. Cost predictions are developed using these materials and techniques and predictions are compared with actual costs. Material characterization was performed in the laboratory and field using dynamic vibratory testing. The characteristics of materials employed in a full-scale MESL test section were used in a structural analysis of this type of load supporting media subjected to moving repetitive loadings. This analysis of stress conditions was facilitated by computer solution. Limiting criteria based on the shearing strain in the subgrade and the number of stress applications were developed as failure criteria. These criteria were formulated using performance data and model analyses. A design method using materials characterization, structural analysis, and failure criteria was presented to facilitate incorporation of a MESL technique into the design engineer's repertoire.

This compilation of fifty-nine peer-reviewed papers examines clay microstructure in detail with comprehensive sections focusing on microstructure signatures, environmental processes, modeling, measurement techniques, and future research recommendations. Many of these topics are discussed in light of geological and engineering applications, such as hazardous waste disposal, construction techniques, and drilling programs. The field of clay microstructure is developing rapidly. The concepts, observations, and principles presented in this book will help stimulate new thought and be a "spring board" for exciting new research.

Book Investigative Strategies for Lead Source Attribution at Superfund Sites Associated with Mining Activities

Download or read book Investigative Strategies for Lead Source Attribution at Superfund Sites Associated with Mining Activities written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Superfund program of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was created in the 1980s to address human-health and environmental risks posed by abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste sites. Identification of Superfund sites and their remediation is an expensive multistep process. As part of this process, EPA attempts to identify parties that are responsible for the contamination and thus financially responsible for remediation. Identification of potentially responsible parties is complicated because Superfund sites can have a long history of use and involve contaminants that can have many sources. Such is often the case for mining sites that involve metal contamination; metals occur naturally in the environment, they can be contaminants in the wastes generated at or released from the sites, and they can be used in consumer products, which can degrade and release the metals back to the environment. This report examines the extent to which various sources contribute to environmental lead contamination at Superfund sites that are near lead-mining areas and focuses on sources that contribute to lead contamination at sites near the Southeast Missouri Lead Mining District. It recommends potential improvements in approaches used for assessing sources of lead contamination at or near Superfund sites.
