Book Soil Stabilization

Download or read book Soil Stabilization written by Christian Reiniger and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first chapter, Tania Pardo, Teresa Fresno, Vanessa Álvarez-López, and María Touceda-González review central aspects of phytostabilisation techniques for recovering trace elements contaminated soils. The possible future of phytotechnology is evaluated by reflecting on legislation, research evolution, and field implementation. In the second chapter, Essien Udo, Ph.D. presents a study using laboratory investigations to discover problems linked to Coastal residual soils at plain and modified conditions, using the knowledge that residual soil parameters have a substantial effect on the overall performance or non-performance of sub-base and base course formations. Next, in the third chapter, Giovanni Santarato, Anna Albertini, Marco dAttoli, Fabio Navi, Marco Occhi, Federico Fischanger, Gianfranco Morelli, Martino Leoni, Tiziana Apuani, Francesco Loddo, and Gaetano Ranieri present research on techniques of soil consolidation and stabilisation by way of expanding resin injections. Supplementing this, V. Ortega-López, M. Skaf, and A. Santamaría discuss the way Ladle Furnace basic Slags might be used to stabilise natural clayey soils in the fourth chapter. In the fifth chapter, Lucile Saussaye, Lydia Leleyter, Didier Hennequin, Mohamed Boutouil, and Fabienne Baraud assess the effect of nitrate ions on the mechanical performances of soils treated with hydraulic binders, determining that treatment with hydraulic binders improves both the physical and mechanical characteristics of soils, thus permitting them to be used in a variety of geotechnical applications. Afterwards, Shuaishuai Wu, Zhengguo Gao, Shiyang Li, Wenbo Cui, and Xin Huang propose a confined stabilised soil pile as a possible new foundation treatment method in the sixth chapter. In the seventh chapter, Hao Yu, Xin Huang, Jianguo Ning, and Zhanguo Li present a study where three types of composite stabilisers with different AFt formation rates were used to stabilise two kinds of soils. In the eighth and final chapter, Jonathan Oti, PhD expresses findings that it is possible to stabilise clay soil with lime based systems incorporating WS or WTRG for use as improved filling material in road building and other applications.

Book Soil Stabilization Methods with Potential for Application at the Nevada National Security Site

Download or read book Soil Stabilization Methods with Potential for Application at the Nevada National Security Site written by and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nuclear testing at the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS) has resulted in large areas of surficial radionuclide-contaminated soils. Much of the radionuclide contamination is found at or near the soil surface, and due to the dry climate setting, and the long half-life of radioactive isotopes, soil erosion poses a long-term health risk at the NNSS. The objective of this literature review is to present a survey of current stabilization methods used for minimizing soil erosion, both by water and wind. The review focuses on in situ uses of fundamental chemical and physical mechanisms for soil stabilization. A basic overview of the physical and chemical properties of soil is also presented to provide a basis for assessing stabilization methods. Some criteria for stabilization evaluation are identified based on previous studies at the NNSS. Although no specific recommendations are presented as no stabilization method, alone or in combination, will be appropriate in all circumstances, discussions of past and current stabilization procedures and specific soil tests that may aid in current or future soil stabilization activities at the NNSS are presented. However, not all Soils Corrective Action Sites (CASs) or Corrective Action Units (CAUs) will require stabilization of surficial radionuclide-contaminated soils. Each Soils CAS or CAU should be evaluated for site-specific conditions to determine if soil stabilization is necessary or practical for a given specific site closure alternative. If stabilization is necessary, then a determination will be made as to which stabilization technique is the most appropriate for that specific site.

Book Soil Processes and Current Trends in Quality Assessment

Download or read book Soil Processes and Current Trends in Quality Assessment written by Maria C. Hernandez Soriano and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2013-02-27 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natural processes and human activities alter the properties and quality of soils over time. Nowadays, the growing interest in soil protection prompts abundant research to estimate soil quality in wide-ranging environmental scenarios. The assessment of soil quality entails the evaluation of the capability of a soil to perform its functions in present scenarios but also how those functions can be preserved for future land use. Currently, soil processes, physical, chemical, and biological properties are recognized as indicators to estimate soil quality. Soil processes and current trends in quality assessment provides a wide depiction of current research conducted in soil quality assessment, encompassing general studies on soil processes, evaluation of significant indicators of soil quality such as soil organic matter dynamic and soil-plant interaction, while presenting diverse strategies for soil fitness amelioration.
