Examining freeze/thaw cycling and its impact on the hydrualic conductivity of cement-treated silty sand
(American Society of Civil Engineering, 2015)Cement-based solidification/stabilization (s/s) is a remediation technology that has been widely used for treatment of a range of contaminants. Currently there is limited published data on changes in hydraulic performance ... -
Examining metal migration through geotextiles during dewatering
(Elsevier, 2020)This paper presents a study conducted to assess the influence that a filter cake deposited on the surface of the geotextile has on the mobility of three metals (Cu, Pb, Zn) during filtration of a contaminated sediment. Two ... -
Examining the Ultraviolet Optical Screening Tool as a Viable Means for Delineating a Contaminated Organic Sediment
(Elsevier, 2021)Rapid and accurate delineation of contaminated sediments in marine environments is critical for the effective assessment of site risks and the development of appropriate remedial action plans. In this study, a new application ... -
