Strength Properties of Sandy Soil–Cement Admixtures     

António Viana da Fonseca  Rodrigo Caberlon Cruz  Nilo Cesar Consoli 《Geotechnical and Geological Engineering》2009,27(6):681-686

Soil stabilization with cement is a good solution for the construction of subgrades for roadway and railway lines, especially under the platforms and mostly in transition zones between embankments and rigid structures, where the mechanical properties of supporting soils are very influential. These solutions are especially attractive in line works where other ground improvement techniques are extensive and, therefore, very expensive. On the other hand, the economic and environmental costs of such works should be optimized with good balances between excavation and embankment volumes. For this purpose, the improvement of locally available soils can bring great advantages, avoiding a great amount in borrowing appropriate material, as well as the need of disposing huge volumes in deposits. This paper focus on the characteristics of two soils, Osorio sand and Botucatu residual sandstone, which can be converted to well acceptable materials for this purpose, if stabilized with cement. The study of soil stabilization with cement relies on the quantification of the influence of percentage of cement and porosity adopted in the admixing process for different state and stress conditions. This influence will be evaluated from the analysis of unconfined compression strength (UCS or q _u ) test results. This experimental framework will enable a good definition of mechanical parameters used in design of foundations and subgrades of railways platforms and for their execution quality control.  相似文献   

Environmental influences on the demersal fish assemblages in the Sepetiba Bay, Brazil   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Francisco Gerson Araújo  Márcia Cristina Costa de Azevedo  Márico de Araújo Silva  André Luiz Machado Pessanha  Iracema David Gomes  Antônio Gomes da Cruz-Filho 《Estuaries and Coasts》2002,25(3):441-450

The structure of the demersal fish assemblage in Sepetiba Bay, southeast Brazil (22°54′–23°04′S, 43°34′–44°10′W) was described and related to environmental variables. A 3-yr long trawl survey (from July 1993 to June 1996) was conducted using a stratified random sampling strategy at 158 stations. One hundred and seven species of fishes in 80 genera and 44 families were identified. Gerreidae and Ariidae made up 30.5% and 28.6%, and 19.8% and 28.1% of the total number and weight, respectively. Sciaenidae, Engraulididae, Sparidae, and Carangidae were other prominent families. Three assemblages existed in the bay: one inhabited shallow, less saline and less transparent water in the inner zone (depth <5 m, transparency <2 m, salinity <30 psu, and slightly higher temperature); another in the outer zone with the opposite situation (depth >10 m, transparency >3 m, salinity >30 psu, and slightly lower temperature); and a third assemblage in the middle zone likely to prefer average values or show no clear preferences. Most species decreased in abundance over the 3-yr period of study. No seasonal change was detected in the assemblage structure, but many species were rare, indicating high spatial and temporal patchiness. Canonical correlation analyses were used to describe and compare the fish assemblages in the three different habitats. The outer zone had the greatest number of species recorded, lowest abundance, highest diversity and evenness, and was comprised mainly byCynossion leiarchus, Prionotus punctatus, Anchoa tricolor, Haemulon steindachneri, Diplectrum radiale, Etropus crossotus, andSphoeroides greeleyi; the inner zone had the lowest number of species recorded but the greatest number of species per sample, highest abundance, lowest diversity and evenness, being comprised mainly byDiapterus rhombeus, Genidens genidens, Cathrops spixii, Chloroschombrus chrysurus, Sciadeichthyes luniscutis, Cetengraulis edentulus, andArchorsargus rhomboidalis; while the third group had the lowest number of species per sample, being comprised by species widely distributed asGerres aprion, G. genidens, Gerres gula, andMicropogonias furnieri. Depth, followed by transparency and salinity, were the primary factors influencing assemblage distribution.  相似文献

Quelques remarques sur l'article «La détermination de la pesanteur normale en Géodésie»     

Dr. António Júdice 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1950,16(3-4):113-116

Résumé Ces remarques ont le but de compléter l'article antérieur; on trouve ici que les erreurs de l'inverse de l'aplatissement et de la pesanteur équatoriale, provenant de l'utilisation de moyennes des anomalies de la pesanteur dans le calcul de la pesanteur ellipsoïdique, n'excèdent pas 0.3 et 1.3 mgal respectivement. Il faut évaluer encore le reste du développement en série de fonctions sphériques de l'anomalie de la pesanteur régularisée et deux petites corrections qui résultent de la transition de la sphère de référence à la surface terrestre, pour obtenir les erreurs totales. La théorie du sphéroïde normal n'est pas plus simple que la théorie de l'ellipsoïde, et celle-ci est indispensable.

Summary These notes serve to complete the previous article; we find now that the inverse of the flattening and the equatorial gravity are affected with errors, owing to the utilisation of the mean gravity anomalies in the computation of the ellipsoidic gravity, that don't exceed 0.3 and 1.3 mgal. It is still necessary to appreciate the rest of the development in series of spherical functions of the regulated gravity anomaly and two small corrections, coming from the transition of the reference sphere to the Earth's surface, in order to compute the total errors. The theory of the ellipsoid is indispensable for the reduction of the bases and the angles in the geodetic nets and is as simple as the theory of the spheroid.

Analysis of the pressure variations at sea-level     

Dr. Ing. António Gião 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1950,16(3-4):141-158

Summary First of all the tendency equation at sea-level is deduced from the equation of continuity and the classical condition of quasi-static equilibrium along the verticals. This equation is then shown to be insufficient for the analysis and forecast of pressure variations. Accordingly, the equation of motion is combine with the tendency equation and the result of this operation is a partial differential equation for the field of pressure at sea-level. The analysis of its coefficients shows that it can be reduced to a partial differential equation for the height-integral of pressure which can also be written as a linear integro-differential equation. The solution of this last equation can be expanded in a series of rotating fields with positive constant angular velocities, the axis of rotation being the earth's polar axis and the spectrum of angular velocities being given by the eigenvalues of a symmetric kernel associated with theGreen's function of the geoid surface. Finally, the solution of the integro-differential equation leads to the determination of the sea-level pressure by the tendency equation.

Résumé On déduit tout d'abord l'équation des tendances au niveau de la mer de l'équation de continuité et de la condition classique d'équilibre vertical quasi-statique. On montre ensuite que cette équation est insuffisante pour l'analyse et la prévision des variations de pression. En conséquence, on associe l'équation du mouvement à l'équation des tendances et le résultat de cette opération est une équation aux derivées partielles pour le champ de pression au niveau de la mer. L'analyse des coefficients de cette équation montre qu'elle peut être réduite à une équation aux dérivées partielles pour l'intégrale de la pression suivant la verticale, ou encore à une équation intégrodifférentielle linéaire. La solution de cette dernière équation est une série de champs en rotation dont les vitesses angulaires sont constantes et positives, leurs axes de rotation se confondant avec l'axe des pôles et le spectre des vitesses angulaires étant déterminé par les valeurs propres d'un noyau symétrique associé à la fonction deGreen de la surface du géoide. Finalement, la solution de l'équation intégro-différentielle conduit à la détermination de la pression au niveau de la mer par léquation des tendances.

Electrodialytic treatment of sewage sludge: influence on microbiological community     

Paula Guedes  Nazaré Couto  Joana Almeida  António M. Rodrigues  Eduardo P. Mateus  Alexandra B. Ribeiro 《International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology》2018,15(5):1103-1112

This study aimed to evaluate the changes in microbiological communities present in sewage sludge (SS) when subjected to an electric field. The establishment of these relations is important to design and optimize an electrotechnology that not only promotes a direct degradation of the emerging organic contaminants, through electrodegradation, but also stimulates their biodegradation. Different current intensities were used continuously or by steps, in a two compartment electrodialytic (ED) cell. Samples collected between May and July of 2015 were analysed, prior to ED treatment, and the 35 Taxa identified were divided in 12 groups. Initial samples, collected on May, were mainly constituted by stalked ciliates (86%), followed by shelled amoebae (8%), whereas the samples collected between June and July presented higher number of shelled amoebae, between 52 and 92%. Epistylis, Vorticella and Arcella gibbosa were the most frequent protozoa identified. Samples richness (R) was between 7 and 14, Simpson’s biodiversity index (D) between 0.45 and 0.69, and evenness between 0.42 and 0.65. At the end of the ED experiments, a decrease in the number of identified Taxa and individuals was observed and, consequently, SS biodiversity also decreased. This decline was more pronounced in the ED experiments conducted with currents above 50 mA (0.10 mA cm^?2). In terms of abundance, the final SS was mainly constituted by shelled amoebae that showed to be the most resistant to the conditions within the ED cell. The obtained results showed that the studied conditions within the ED cell were not appropriate to the microbiological communities, which influenced the final SS quality.  相似文献
