Abstract

The motorway bridge on the Drader River suffered from severe floods, which occurred during its construction in 1995-1996. At this site, 8 m thick compressible soft clays layers were found during the site investigations and piled abutments were designed. During the flood, due to erosion of the riverbed under the bridge, the piled abutments were displaced and came in contact with the bridge deck. The access embankments were taken away and a new project was established for the abutments and embankments. L-shaped retaining walls prevent any contact between the fill and the abutments and hollow concrete tubes were placed in the fill in order to reduce the load applied to the ground surface.

Abstract

The paper presents the physical properties and chemical constituents of surface and groundwater of southwest lowland area. Annual seasonal and tidal flooding are the common phenomenon in lowland of Bangladesh. Monson climatic condition is the main responsible for the flooding both from onshore to offshore areas. These physical processes, the regional hydraulic head declination during the dry period (November-April) and some man-made activities have caused the present deterioration of water quality from the acceptable limit for conjunctive use of the area. Physico-chemical analyses of water from river and groundwater have revealed that EC, TDS, TH, Na+, CT are higher concentration levels then the standard limit. In thois context, many studies on water quality have revealed that the surface water of southwestern lowland is of primary salinity type, which can be found in the every dry period. Observation shows that the salinity level normally decreases when the high stream flow discharges from the upstream rivers during the very wet periods.

Abstract

The interaction between column inclusions and surrounding soil in composite ground is an important factor that the bearing capacity and settlement behaviours of the composite ground. In this paper, interaction between column inclusion (granular column or compressible pile) and surrounding soil are systematically studied by means of laboratory and field tests and tehoritical analyses. This paper presents that interaction behaviours of composite ground woith granular columns and that with compressible piles are quite different: in the former case, the interaction in mainly laterally, while in the later case, the interaction is necessary to insure enough lateral restraint for the column, especially at the upper part of the column; for the composite ground with compressible piles, a sand mat with certain thickness on the top of the pile is important to reduce the stress concentration on the columninclusion and useful to make compatible working between the column inclusion and foundation soil.

Abstract

Using Lowtran 7's estimated Rayleigh scattered and aerosol scattered radiance, the radiance reflected at the sea surface (Lw(λ)) is derived from the measured radiance of Landsat-TM images taken over teh Ariake Sea. Then the Lw(λ) averaged from 4 x 4 windows of pixels contered at 33 sampling sites was regressed againts the observed Secchi disk depth (SDD) using linear regression algorithms. Result show that use of multi-date visible channels of Landsat-TM as the calibration data predicts more accurate and dependable SDD at the validation stage than use of single-date calibration data of Landsat-TM. This study confirms the feasibility of retrieving SDD (or turbidity/ suspended-sediments) from Landsat-TM data. Limited experiments in the modeling sea surface temperature (SST) show the potential of predicting SST from the thermal channel (6) og Landsate-TM data using a simple liniear regression.

Abstract

Geomorphologically, inter-tidal salt marshes are vegetated landforms at elevations slightly greater than mean tidal levels that have distributed channels formed under ebb (drainage) tidal flows that widen and deepen in the seaward direction. The drainage channels enable tidal flows to circulate sediments and nutrients through the marsh system during normal tidal events, while depositing sediments during storm or seismic events. This dynamic system encourages considerable biodiversity while simultaneously providing water quality enhancement features that service marsh terrestrial life and estuary marine life. Reservoir creation, limiting sediment supply, sea level rise as well as agricultural and urban development have resultedd in significant loss of inter-tidal marshes and subsequent and adverse impacts on waterfowl, infauna and fisheries. The complex and continuously changing marsh channel hydraulic and sedimentary processes have severely constrained quantitative modeling of marsh systems such that restoration/creation efforts remain an empirical science. The purpose of this paper is to outline current understanding of salt marsh hydrodinamics, sediment accretion processes and subsequent response of marsh vegetation to set the stage for discussion of a marsh restoration/creation effort in San Paolo Bay near San Fransisco, California. Several kilometers of drainage channels were constructed in a 410 ha disturbed salt marsh to restore tidal circulation and vegetation so as to enhance habitat for threatened species (e.g. clapper rail, salt marsh harvest mouse, delta smelt and anadromous fish species). Two distinct drainage channel system ("east" and "west") were installed having similar channel dimensions common to salt marshes in the region, but having design bankfull tidal prism volumes that differed by a factor of two. Following excavation of the channels, main channel tidal flows and sediment loads as well as marsh sediment accretion rates were monitored to assess the relative success of the channel excavation in restoring tidal circulation and vegetation (Salicornia spp.) to the marsh. Annual aerial surveys corroborated with ground-truthing indicated that marsh vegetation coverage rapidly expanded, from 40 to 63% coverage following excavation. However, channel surveys and flow measurement indicated that the "east" channel system tidal prism prior to nearly complete siltation of the channels within three years was only about 1,200 m3, more that an order of magnitudo less than that of the apparently stable "west" channel system. Marsh sediment accretion rates were on the order of 7-8 mm/yr, a rate common to the Pacific coast region that exceeds estimated sea level rise rates of 1-2 mm/yr. East channel network siltation resulted in ponding following storm and spring tidal events and marsh vegetation coverage decreased to 51% of the marsh area and quality of available habitat decreased. These results are considered in terms of the primary inter-tidal marsh factors affecting possible restoration/creation strategies.

Abstract

Hanoi is a lowland city in the sense that its elevation is much lower than the Red River level and the city needs to be protected by a long-standing dike system. The capital of Vietnam is currently enjoying a rapid economics, industrial and population growth. But it is also facing a lot of problems; one of those in groundwater resource; hence, the increase in groundwater pumping to sustain the city in the future is inevitable. Land subsidence due to groundwater withdrawal has already manifested itself in a few monitoring data of good quality. For the current situation, both underestimation and exaggeration of land subsidence caused by groundwater pumping may have a serious impact on groundwater and infrastructure development if this growing city. In this paper, a preliminary assessment and analysis of Hanoi land subsidence was done based on the initial results of investigations by both Vietnamese and foreign researchers. Emphasis was on the application of a fast and practically reliable technique based on a bilinear compression model and Terzaghi's consolidation equation in a primary assessment of Hanoi land subsidence.

Abstract

Four types of Kyushu regional soils, Ariake clay, Haido, Akaboku, and Diatom earth were selected to evaluate their capacities of contaminant adsorption. The contaminants presented in this study are there types of single-salt solutions, KCL, NaCL, and CaCL2 respectively. A batch-type test was performed for each soil and Freundlich model was adopted to plot adsorption isotherms. It was found that among the tested soils. Ariake clay has the highest adsorption capacity in the case of K+ and Ca2+ ions, whereas Diatom earth fails to adsorb any cation. Based on the adsorption isotherms, the cation selectivity of each soil was given. It is concluded that the contaminant adsorption capacity of clay soil is significantly affected by the soil cation exchange capacity (CEC). For a given soil, it seems that the mobility of the cation of the interested species when it transports through soil is mainly controlled by the cation replaceability, its initially adsorbed concentration and nature of the soil, provided that the other conditions remain constant.

Abstract

A new in situ remediation, method, uplow washing, is describedin which contaminants are removed by an upward fluidizing flow of water and/or gas produced by a jet inserted into a granular contaminated formation. Contaminant removal is achieved by the buoyant release of NAPL droplets and elutriation of finer particles. Experiments on contaminant removal by fluidization within a controlled column indicate significant reductions in diesel levels (95-99,9%) may be achieved by gas-liquid uplow washing (GLUW), for a wide range of initial diesel concentrations (10,000 to 150,000 mg/kg) and for soil fines contents of zero to 10%. In uniform sands, the water and gas velocities exmined during GLUW have no significant bearing on diesel remediation efficiency, suggesting that water velocities may be reduced to a level at which the fluidized bed is largely gas-supported. Significant reductions in lead concentrations (59-88%) from soils containing 1,500-1,960 mg/kg precipitated lead may also be achieved by GLUW.

Abstract

Extensive investigations have been carried out on the engineering behavior of Ariake clays. The range of variation pf physical properties for Ariake clay is very high. A better understanding of the engineering behavior necessitates the understanding of their physical and physico-chemical behavior. The factors influencing the physical properties are the clay mineral type, percent clay size fraction, and the pore medium chemistry. Both ion concentration and type of ion can vary significantly. Comparison of Ariake clay with change in ion concentration has been examined with bentonite clay treated with artificial seawater and it has been found that two dominating mechanisms control their liquid limit behavior. As concentration and/or ion valence increase, flocculation takes place and attractive force increase, leading to increase in liquid limit. These two mechanisms oppose each other in inluencing the liquid limit. However both mechanisms co-exist and depending upon the factors like relative proportion of various clay minerals present, percent clay size fraction and type and concentration of various ions, one of the mechanisms dominates.

Abstract

Due to differences in compaction characteristics and overburden stresses, modulus of the deformation of granular piles shows variation with depth and granular piles may be considered as non-homogeneous. A simple theoretical approach to analyze soft ground reinforced by non-homogeneous granular piles with granular mat on top is represented. The proposed model is validated by comparison with other numerical models and field test results. A non-homogeneous grnular pile is found to be more beneficial than the homogeneous one. For the case of non-homogeneous granular piles, due to increase in granular pile modulus with depth, shear stresses between the granular pile and the surrounding soft soil and the total settlement reduce by a significant amount. The variation of stress concentration factor with depth tends to become more uniform as the rate of variation of granular pile stiffness with depth increases. The reduction in shear stresses due to non-homogeneity of granular pile is found to be very high at low values or area ratio. This is highly desirable for stabilization of soft soils having low shear strength.
