Evaluation of Sediment Connectivity Indices to Improve the Prediction of the Spatiotemporal Variability of Sediment Yield for a Large River Basin (Wei River, China)

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sediment connectivity between source areas and the main streams or local sinks is a complex and dynamic process, especially in large basins due to multiple heterogeneities and interactions between connectivity components. Sediment connectivity indices are promising tools to investigate sediment transport, especially in data‐scarce or large ...

Dynamic properties of marine silty sand

, 2013
The dynamic properties of west coast marine silty sand are investigated between 1%~ 4% cyclic double amplitude shear strain using cyclic direct simple shear test apparatus. The dynamic properties are expressed in terms of secant shear modulus (Gs) and damping ratio (D).

Does Palsa Thaw in Northern Finland Contribute to Remobilisation of Metals Accumulated in Peat Into Surface Waters?

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Permafrost is rapidly degrading in the sporadic zone, including palsa mires in Scandinavia. Peatlands in the area have likely accumulated heavy metals from atmospheric deposition of industrial contaminants in the wider region. As the palsa mire chemical composition is not well known, and in other permafrost regions the permafrost thaw may ...

Numerical Investigation of Bored Tunnelling Effects on Pile‐Supported Superstructures

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tunnelling in urban environments can significantly affect existing buried structures such as pile foundations. However, the current understanding of how tunnelling‐induced ground movements influence the stability and serviceability of piles remains limited. This knowledge gap presents potential risks that must be addressed during tunnel design

Hydrocarbon potential of Eastern View Group Reservoir Rocks, Bass Basin, Australia. [PDF]

, 2011
Hydrocarbon exploration to-date in the Bass Basin has focused on Eocene reservoir rocks of the Upper Eastern View Group with limited success. This thesis focuses on the hydrocarbon potential of Middle and Lower Eastern View Group reservoir rocks which ...

Time to burn: landscape drivers of fuel trait variability and fire regime in savanna ecosystems

Oikos, EarlyView.
Fuel traits are important determinants of fire behavior and regime in savannas and, thus, of how fire affects plant communities. However, whether these traits are correlated, predictable and how they are influenced by biotic and abiotic drivers remain to be rigorously evaluated.

An evaluation of square footing response on lime-treated geotextile-reinforced silty sand: contrasting experimental and computational approaches

Frontiers in Built Environment
Improving soil strength and reducing the anticipated settlement and construction cost is a great paradox for civil as well as geotechnical engineers. In this paper, these aspects and other suitable types of ground improvement are discussed based on the ...

Water‐Borne Erosion of Reinforced Polymer Composites: Application to Shallow Offshore Marine Environment

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Comparison of experimental and model‐predicted erosion rates for carbon fibre‐reinforced polymer (CFRP) and glass fibre‐reinforced polymer (GFRP) under low‐velocity (2 m/s) and at varying angles and sand concentrations (0.0, 0.05, 0.4 g/L). The results demonstrate good agreement between experimental data and model predictions across different erosive ...

The role of soil layers in preventing ground water pollution with 17ß-estradiol hormone (E2) [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Estrogens include estoril (E3), estradiol and estrone (E1). These chemicals are produced in human and animal bodies as well as in synthetic chemicals (drugs). Estrogens can enter water sources in different ways. When these chemicals enter the
