Diffusion and Sorption of VOCs Through Soil-Cement Materials
(Thomas Telford, 2018)This paper presents a laboratory study that assesses the diffusive and sorptive parameters of three volatile organic compounds benzene, ethylbenzene, and trichloroethylene) though cured, monolithic, soil-cement materials. ... -
Hydraulic and strength performance of three cement-stabilized soils subjected to cycles of freezing and thawing
(NRC Research Press, 2015-03)A total of 108 specimens were prepared to examine the hydraulic performance and strength performance of nine different cement-stabilized soils under unexposed and freeze–thaw exposed conditions. Specimens from each mix ... -
Nucleation and arrest of dynamic slip on a pressurized fault
(2012-10)Elevated pore pressure can lead to reactivation of slip on pre-existing fractures and faults when the static Coulomb failure is reached locally. As the pressurized region spreads diffusively, slip can accumulate quasi-statically ... -
Seismic and aseismic slip pulses driven by thermal pressurization of pore fluid
(2012-04)There are several lines of evidence that suggest that thermal pressurization (TP) of pore fluid within a low-permeability fault core may play the key role in the development of earthquake slip. To elucidate effects of TP ... -
Assessing the Effects of Land Use Changes on Non-Point Source Pollution Reduction for the Three Gorges Watershed Using the SWAT Model
(2013-09)This study presents a new attempt of applying the hydrological model SWAT to the Three Gorges watershed in China for addressing its non-point source (NPS) pollution control issues. The model was calibrated and validated ... -
A Coupled MM5-CMAQ Modeling System for Assessing Effects of Restriction Measures on PM10 Pollution in Olympic City of Beijing, China
(2012-06)In this paper, a coupled MM5-CMAQ modeling system was employed to investigate the PM10 pollution issue in Beijing, China, with a focus on assessing the effects of different restriction policies implemented during and after ... -
A Hybrid Perturbation and Morris Approach for Identifying Sensitive Parameters in Surface Water Quality Models
(2008-12)Surface water quality models (SWQM) are always developed as universal frameworks so that they can be flexibly employed to simulate a large variety of water bodies. These models are often over-parameterized (more parameters ... -
Characterizing Porosity and Diffusive Properties of Monolithic Cement-Based Solidified/Stabilized Materials
(2012-07)This paper presents the application of a single reservoir diffusion test to determine both the effective porosity of a soil-cement matrix and the diffusivity of tritium through saturated, monolithic, cement solidified/stabilized ...
