Book Synopsis Laboratory Methods for Testing Peat by : John L. Riley
Download or read book Laboratory Methods for Testing Peat written by John L. Riley and published by Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and Mines. This book was released on 1989 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This inventory of the peat and peatland resources of Ontario was intended to provide information on possible fuel peat deposits as a means of encouraging increased energy self-sufficiency, as well as information on the resources of horticultural peat in the province. The inventory undertook laboratory analyses of over 1700 peat samples collected during the studies, the analysis of which entailed the development and standardization of required laboratory methods, and the assessment of the precision and accuracy of the reported data. This report details the specific laboratory methods which were used, and evaluates the results of internal and blind quality control tests. It also reports the results of several tests of particular methods, and suggests the precision levels from the use of these techniques.

Book Synopsis Geotechnics of High Water Content Materials by : Tuncer B. Edil
Download or read book Geotechnics of High Water Content Materials written by Tuncer B. Edil and published by ASTM International. This book was released on 2000 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reasonable estimates indicate that approximately a billion cubic meters of high water content soil-like wastes are produced annually worldwide, and a large portion of these are deposited hydraulically in diked impoundment areas, some of which are among the largest earth structures in the world. The major problems emanating from this disposal method are the difficulty in dewatering the wastes, their low strength and hydraulic conductivity, their high compressibility, their potential to contaminate the groundwater, the stability of the confining dikes, and the ultimate reclamation of the disturbed land. Following a brief explanation of how many of these wastes are generated, quantitative values for key engineering properties are summarized and compared for a wide variety of waste materials and some reference soils. Then, many concepts that have been applied with success will be presented together with the advantages each offers, the difficulties involved in using it, and the limitations in our knowledge. Discussed briefly will be state-of-practice developments in mathematical modeling, laboratory testing and associated interpretations, and material property formulations.

Book Synopsis Manual of Soil Laboratory Testing by : K. H. Head
Download or read book Manual of Soil Laboratory Testing written by K. H. Head and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, the first in a set of three, is a vital working manual which covers the basic tests for the classification and compaction characteristics of engineering soils. It will therefore be an essential practical handbook for all engaged on the testing of soils in a laboratory for building and civil engineering purposes. Based on the authoris experience over many years managing large soil testing laboratories, particular emphasis has been placed on ensuring that procedures are fully understood. Each test procedure has therefore been broken down into simple stages with each step being clearly described. The use of flow diagrams and the setting out of test data and calculations will be of great benefit, especially for the newcomer to soil testing. The book is complemented with many numerical examples which illustrate the methods of calculation and graphical presentations of typical results. The reporting of test data is also explained. Vital information on good techniques, laboratory safety, the calibration of measuring instruments, essential checks on equipment, and laboratory accreditation are all included. A basic knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry is assumed but some of the fundamental principles that are essential in soil testing are explained where appropriate. Professionals, academics and students in geotechnical engineering, consulting engineers, geotechnical laboratory supervisors and technicians will all find this book of great value. Book jacket.

Book Synopsis Peatlands of the Western Guayana Highlands, Venezuela by : Joseph Alfred Zinck
Download or read book Peatlands of the Western Guayana Highlands, Venezuela written by Joseph Alfred Zinck and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-08-04 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Guayana Highlands in northeastern tropical America, rising from lowland rain forests and savannas up to 3000 m elevation, are characterized by ancient tablelands called tepuis. The peatlands that developed on the tepuis constitute unique and fascinating ecosystems and are the focus of this volume, which starts with an overview of tropical and subtropical peats, followed by an introduction to the geo-ecological features of the Guayana region as a whole, with special emphasis on the diversity of the vegetation cover from lowlands to uplands to highlands. The core subject centers on the properties and dating of the peat deposits and the interpretation of the chronological record in terms of past environmental changes. The well illustrated book will appeal to a broad range of scientists interested in tropical highland peats, including quaternarists, soil scientists, geomorphologists, geographers, geologists, ecologists, botanists, hydrologists, conservationists, and land use planners.

Book Synopsis Peat and Peatland Resources of Southeastern Ontario by : John L. Riley
Download or read book Peat and Peatland Resources of Southeastern Ontario written by John L. Riley and published by Sudbury, Ont. : Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and Mines. This book was released on 1994 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peatland resources of southeastern Ontario were investigated as part of the Peatland Inventory Project, conducted from 1982-85. Data from Peterborough, Kingston-Belleville, Pembroke, Ottawa-Brockville, and Parry Sound are presented and integrated to provide a regional overview of the resource. The methods used for the peatland inventory ranged from on-site detailed mapping and sampling to regional satellite image interpretation. Laboratory analyses of the physical and chemical properties of the peat were also undertaken for 483 samples. Of the 759 peatlands/wetlands larger than 100 ha that were identified in the region, 143 were surveyed.
