A nonlinear regression model for peak-failure strength prediction of rockfill materials is proposed. It is based on the relationship between the peak-failure stress ratio and the normalized confining pressure as well as the relationship between the normalized peak-failure stress ratio and the exponent function of the intermediate principal stress ratio. This model can well predict the variations of the peak-failure stress ratio with the initial confining pressure and the intermediate principal stress ratio for different rockfill materials under different general stress paths. Comparisons of the measured and predicted results show that the peak-failure strength under the constant-p' and constant-b path is larger than that under the constant-σ'_3 and constant-b path. The predictive capacity of the proposed model for the peakfailure stress ratio is better than that for the peak-failure friction angle. 相似文献

Acid volatile sulfide (AVS) is an operationally defined sulfide fraction, which is considered important for trace metal fate in reduced sediments. Understanding AVS formation rates is important for the management of metal polluted sediment. However, little is known about the fate and dynamics of AVS in spatially and seasonally variable freshwater environments. The authors monitored in situ AVS formation and degradation and simultaneously extracted metals (SEM) in two floodplain lakes and compared this to AVS formation rates in laboratory experiments with the same sediment. In the laboratory experiments, the formation rates of AVS were studied at 20 °C for initially oxidized sediments that were: (a) untreated; (b) enriched with extra ; and (c) treated with sodium-azide (biocide). In the field, AVS concentrations were highly variable and were significantly correlated to surface water temperature and O2 concentrations as well as to sediment composition. Between February and August, AVS formation was approximately linear at a rate of 0.07 μmol g−1 d−1. Degradation rates differed drastically between the lakes due to different degradation mechanisms. In one lake AVS removal was caused by reworking and oxygenation of the sediments by bream (Abrami brama), at a rate of 0.25 μmol g−1 d−1. In the other lake AVS removal was caused by desiccation, at a rate of ±2.6 μmol g−1 d−1. This illustrates the large differences that can be found between similar lakes, and the importance of biological processes. In the laboratory, concentrations of AVS with and without addition were similar during the first weeks, and increased at a rate of 0.15 μmol g−1 d−1. However, addition increased the AVS concentration at the end of the experiment, whereas sodium-azide eliminated AVS formation, as expected. This suggests that AVS formation was -limited in the laboratory as well as in these shallow freshwater lakes. 相似文献

The groundwater of Pomona, California, is contaminated with perchlorate (). This water is treated to reduce the concentration to less than 6 μg L−1 for compliance with California Department of Public Health drinking water regulations. A study of the isotopic composition of oxygen and chlorine in has been conducted to determine the source of the contamination. Isotopic compositions were measured for samples extracted from 14 wells, yielding ranges of δ18O values from −10.8‰ to −8.0‰, Δ17O values from +4.6‰ to +7.5‰, and δ37Cl values from −12.8‰ to −8.9‰. Evaluation of mixing proportions using published isotopic data for three end-members (synthetic, Atacama, and indigenous natural ) indicates that contamination is dominantly (85–89%) Atacama derived from past use of imported Chilean nitrate fertilizer in citrus cultivation. This interpretation is consistent with (1) aerial photography archives showing extensive citrus fields surrounding Pomona in the early- to mid-20th century, (2) mass-balance estimates for , and (3) numerical hydrologic models yielding travel-times for from fields to wells that are in the range of 15 to >100 years. The hydrologic models predict that contamination of Pomona groundwater will persist for decades into the future. 相似文献

The chemical compositions of the surface/ground water of Guiyang, the capital city of Guizhou Province, China are dominated by Ca2+, Mg2+, , which have been derived largely from chemical weathering of carbonate rocks (limestone and dolomite). The production of has multiple origins, mainly from dissolution of sulfate evaporites, oxidation of sulfide minerals and organic S in the strata, and anthropogenic sources. Most ground water is exposed to soil CO2 and, therefore, the H2CO3 which attacks minerals contains much soil C. In addition, the H2SO4 produced as a result of the oxidation of sulfides in S-rich coal seams and/or organic S, is believed to be associated with the chemical weathering of rocks. The major anthropogenic components in the surface and ground water include K+, Na+, Cl−, , with Cl− and being the main contributors to ground water pollution in Guiyang and its adjacent areas. The seasonal variations in concentrations of anthropogenic components demonstrate that the karst ground water system is liable to pollution by human activities. The higher content of in ground water compared to surface water during the summer and winter seasons, indicates that the karstic ground water system is not capable of denitrification and therefore does not easily recover once contaminated with nitrates. 相似文献

One of the primary prerequisites for the application of organic proxies is that they should not be substantially affected by diagenesis. However, studies have shown that oxic degradation of biomarker lipids can affect their relative distribution. We tested the diagenetic stability of the and TEX86 palaeothermometers upon long term oxygen exposure. For this purpose, we studied the distributions of alkenones and glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) in different sections of turbidites at the Madeira Abyssal Plain (MAP) that experienced different degrees of oxygen exposure. Sediments were deposited anoxically on the shelf and then transported by turbidity currents to the MAP, which has oxic bottom water. This resulted in partial degradation of the turbidite organic matter as a result of long term exposure to oxic bottom water. Concentrations of GDGTs and alkenones were reduced by one to two orders of magnitude in the oxidized parts of the turbidites compared to the unoxidized parts, indicating substantial degradation. High-resolution analysis of the Pleistocene F-turbidite showed that the index of long chain alkenones increased only slightly (0.01, corresponding to <0.5 °C) in the oxidized part of the turbidite, suggesting minor preferential degradation of the C37:3 alkenone, in agreement with previous studies. TEX86 values showed a small increase (0.02, corresponding to ～2 °C) in the F-turbidite, like , while for other Pliocene/Miocene turbidites it either remained unchanged or decreased substantially (up to 0.06, corresponding to ～6 °C). Previous observations showed that the BIT index, a proxy for the contribution of soil organic matter to total organic carbon, was always substantially higher in the oxidized part in all the turbidites, as a result of preferential degradation of marine-derived GDGTs. This relative increase in soil-derived GDGTs affects TEX86, as the isoprenoid GDGT distribution on the continent can be quite different from that in the marine environment. Our results indicate that the organic proxies are affected by long term oxic degradation to different extents; this should be taken into account when applying these proxies in palaeoceanographic studies of sediments which have been exposed to prolonged oxic degradation. 相似文献
