Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cut-off walls built by the bentonite-clay slurry trench technique are designed and installed to control flow during site remediation at hazardous waste sites. Non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPL's) in the site groundwater are being sought in remedial investigations as critical contaminants which are likely to significantly affect cut-off wall design and performance. Testing of backfill permeability with these liquids is necessary to ensure that the backfill will resist degradation at elevations where they occur in the groundwater. Recent research has focused on the impact of ion diffusion through the completed barrier. Plastic concrete, attapulgite clay slurries, and biopolymer slurries have been reported in use to meet job-specific requirements. Field test cells, several tens of feet in dimension, and extending to the expected depth of the total cut-off all structure, are increasingly being required by clients as pre-construction hydraulic performance demonstrations. Pump-down measurements applied to these cells provide data from which the permeability of the walls, built with full-scale field equipment, can be calculated. Hydraulic fracturing, verification of bottom-key effectiveness, long-term permeability performance, and significance of diffusion of solutes through the completed groundwater barrier remain areas of sparse published data. This paper reviews environmental slurry wall experience since the early 1980's, with emphasis on performance evaluation.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 686 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earth scientists and geotechnical engineers are increasingly challenged to solve environmental problems related to waste disposal facilities and cleanup of contaminated sites. The effort has given rise to a new discipline of specialists in the field of environmental geotechnology. To be effective, environmental geotechnologists must not only be armed with the traditional knowledge of fields such as geology and civil engineering, but also be knowledgeable of principles of hydrogeology, chemistry, and biological processes. In addition, the environmental geotechnologist must be completely up to date on the often complex cadre of local and national regulations, must comprehend the often complex legal issues and sometimes mind-boggling financial impli cations of a project, and must be able to communicate effectively with a host of other technical specialists, regulatory officials, attorneys, local land owners, journalists, and others. The field of environmental geo technology will no doubt continue to offer unique challenges. The purpose of this book is to summarize the current state of practice in the field of environmental geotechnology. Part One covers broadly applicable principles such as hydrogeology, geochemistry, and con taminant transport in soil and rock. Part Two describes in detail the underlying principles for design and construction of new waste disposal facilities. Part Three covers techniques for site remediation. Finally, Part Four addresses the methodologies for monitoring. The topics of 'waste disposal' and 'site remediation' are extra ordinarily broad.

Download or read book Technical Aspects Related to the Design and Construction of Engineered Containment Barriers for Environmental Remediation written by IAEA and published by International Atomic Energy Agency. This book was released on 2023-12-15 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Containment barrier systems are among the most widely used technologies for remediating contaminated sites. Various structures have been engineered to address site-specific needs, while barrier selection depends largely on whether regulatory requirements are prescriptive, or performance based. This publication provides an introduction to the design and construction of different containment barriers for low-level radioactive waste generated from remediation activities: basal (bottom) liners, final covers, in situ vertical barriers and in situ permeable reactive barriers. Practical aspects of each structure are discussed in theoretical case studies, which allow remediation project designers, implementers and regulators to make more informed decisions about the use of these barriers.
