This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of soil structure and aggregation in influencing soil respiration and N dynamics in soils undergoing freeze-thaw cycles, as influenced by water content, is poorly known. Surface soil with a texture of sandy loam was collected from an agriculture field in Atlantic Canada. Two studies were undertaken. The first study determined the influence of soil structure (whole / crushed soil) and water content (35%, 60%, and 85% water-filled pore space) on soil respiration and nitrogen dynamics during freezing and thawing of the soil. The second study determined the role of different aggregate size fractions (0~0.25, 0.25~4, and 4~8 mm) on the freeze-thaw effect. The research found microbial metabolism is more limited by environmental conditions than by the substrate availability. Crushing altered structural characteristics and caused changes in substrate solubilization and / or microbial utilization of substrates during freezing and thawing. Furthermore, freezing and thawing did not influence the denitrification of the whole soil, but enhanced denitrification in soils where aggregates were crushed. At 60% WFPS, the interaction among aggregate crushing and freeze-thaw increased denitrification. Also, the impact of freeze-thaw was greater on soil respiration and N mineralization in medium size aggregates (0.25~4mm). Freezing and thawing improved de-nitrification in aggregates on all three size fractions. This project provided new information on the effects of freeze-thaw on soil carbon and nitrogen dynamics as influenced by soil structure and water content. This information will be critical in assessing the impact of climate change in soil carbon and nitrogen dynamics in temperate regions.

This book was released on 1962 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paper 1: Results obtained from freezing experiments on soil systems at various porosities are described. Paper 2: Studies in permafrost areas show that a particle-size sorting occurs in saturated granular soils due to freeze-thaw cycling. This phenomenon is evidenced by a gradual change in size of soil grains, with the fines at the bottom of the active layer and the coarse at the surface.
Download or read book Unsaturated Soil Mechanics in Engineering Practice written by Delwyn G. Fredlund and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-07-30 with total page 946 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive guide to unsaturated soil— from the world's experts on the subject This book builds upon and substantially updates Fredlund and Rahardjo's publication, Soil Mechanics for Unsaturated Soils, the current standard in the field of unsaturated soils. It provides readers with more thorough coverage of the state of the art of unsaturated soil behavior and better reflects the manner in which practical unsaturated soil engineering problems are solved. Retaining the fundamental physics of unsaturated soil behavior presented in the earlier book, this new publication places greater emphasis on the importance of the "soil-water characteristic curve" in solving practical engineering problems, as well as the quantification of thermal and moisture boundary conditions based on the use of weather data. Topics covered include: Theory to Practice of Unsaturated Soil Mechanics Nature and Phase Properties of Unsaturated Soil State Variables for Unsaturated Soils Measurement and Estimation of State Variables Soil-Water Characteristic Curves for Unsaturated Soils Ground Surface Moisture Flux Boundary Conditions Theory of Water Flow through Unsaturated Soils Solving Saturated/Unsaturated Water Flow Problems Air Flow through Unsaturated Soils Heat Flow Analysis for Unsaturated Soils Shear Strength of Unsaturated Soils Shear Strength Applications in Plastic and Limit Equilibrium Stress-Deformation Analysis for Unsaturated Soils Solving Stress-Deformation Problems with Unsaturated Soils Compressibility and Pore Pressure Parameters Consolidation and Swelling Processes in Unsaturated Soils Unsaturated Soil Mechanics in Engineering Practice is essential reading for geotechnical engineers, civil engineers, and undergraduate- and graduate-level civil engineering students with a focus on soil mechanics.
Download or read book Chemistry and Microstructure of Solidified Waste Forms written by Roger D. Spence and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1992-12-15 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chemistry and Microstructure of Solidified Waste Forms presents a comprehensive summary of mechanisms of immobilization in cementitious waste forms and the effect of waste species on cement chemistry and morphology. The book introduces the well-known chemistry and microstructure of cement pastes, in addition to common mechanisms of immobilization of waste species in cementitious waste forms. The fundamental chemical and microstructural fate of waste species is reviewed, and a technique for studying cementitious waste forms using scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) is described with examples of its application. Chemistry and Microstructure of Solidified Waste Forms also presents evidence to prove that chromium in waste becomes part of the cement matrix, and the potentially harmful effect of this process is discussed. Data for interpretations are included so that other researchers can analyze the data and draw their own conclusions. The book also discusses how solubility and solubility theory can be combined with leach theory and diffusion theory to predict the leaching performance of cementitious waste forms. Chemistry and Microstructure of Solidified Waste Forms will prove invaluable to hazardous waste professionals, engineers, environmental engineers, chemical engineers, waste disposal managers, waste form developers and researchers, and regulators.
