Approximately 250 million tires are discarded each year in the United States and 20 million in Canada. Finding sustainable ways to dispose these tires continues to be a problem throughout the world not only in North America. Disposal issues along with a continuing increase in tire production have resulted in an increase in tire stockpiles, 30 % of these tires end up occupying valuable landfill space. Tire Derived Aggregates (TDA) made from scrap tires have a compacted dry unit weight of 6.9 kN/m3 and a specific gravity of 1.06 making their use as lightweight fill material especially for highway embankments over soft soils very advantageous. Using TDA as fill material not only provide a new construction material but also help to provide sustainable solution for several environmental and economic problems. Previous studies have shown that the addition of Tire Derived Aggregates (TDA) to sand results in a fill material which is characterized by its higher shear strength compared to that of 100 % sand. While there have been several studies investigating various properties and situations involving TDA’s, there remain areas that still require exploration. The effect of soil/aggregate gradation on shear strength is one of particular interest. All of the research conducted to date investigated only the sand gradation mixed with uniform TDA gradation. None of the conducted research investigated the interaction between the gradation of the two materials and its effect on the performance of the fill mixture. The main goal of this paper is to gain an understanding of this interaction in aim of producing better fill mixtures with enhanced characteristics. 相似文献

This investigation was carried out for evaluation of indole-3-acetic acid production by bacteria under salinity and salinity–sodicity stress. A total of 298 bacteria were isolated from soils with different levels of electrical conductivity and sodium adsorption ratio. Then, ability of indole-3-acetic acid production under salinity, salinity–sodicity and l-tryptophan concentrations was analyzed. The results indicated that the ability of growth and indole-3-acetic acid production among bacteria was significantly affected by salinity, salinity–sodicity and l-tryptophan concentration. The one of the bacterial species, Arthrobacter siccitolerans, that were isolated from saline–sodic soils can adjust its indole-3-acetic acid production to different levels of salinity and salinity–sodicity stress conditions. Also, its l-TRP use efficiency under salinity–sodicity stress was 5.01% and reported as the most efficient bacterium. Seed inoculation of A. siccitolerans enhanced wheat aerial and root dry matter under salinity–sodicity stress with respect to control by 10.03 and 15.17%, respectively. The study indicates the different effects of salinity–sodicity on indole-3-acetic acid indole-3-acetic acid production and the potential of A. siccitolerans for production of indole-3-acetic acid and enhancing growth of wheat under salinity and salinity–sodicity stress. 相似文献

Techniques for soil property estimation can be categorized into two main groups, in-situ and laboratory methods. Previous investigations indicated that strong ground motions record provides a very useful tool to estimating the in-situ characteristics of soil. The main objective of the present work is to utilize the particle swarm optimization algorithm(PSOA) integrated with linear site response method to obtain the equivalent soil profile characteristics from the available surface and bedrock earthquake motion records. To demonstrate the numerical efficiency and the validity of this approach, the procedure is validated against an available case. Then this procedure is utilized to identify the soil properties profiles of the site by using strong ground motions data recorded during the Bam earthquake of December 26, 2003. The magnitude and PGA of Bam earthquake were MW 6.6 and 0.8 g respectively. 相似文献

Various seismic imaging methods are introduced to resolve some of the possible ambiguities of seismic interpretation in complex structures. Reducing dependency of imaging techniques on velocity or using diffraction energy for imaging more structural details are the main topics of the imaging research. In this study, we try to improve the seismic image quality in semi-complex structures by combining the common reflection surface (CRS) method with a diffraction based scheme in the common-offset domain. Previously introduced partial CRS and common offset CRS methods exhibited reliable performance in imaging complex media. Here, we were looking for stable and efficient solutions, preserving advantages of the previous methods. Herewith, the proposed operator fits better to diffractions than to reflections. Therefore, we call it the commonoffset common diffraction surface stack (CO CDS). In a previous study, improvement of the quality of seismic image by the CRS method was achieved by combination of the CDS method with the partial CRS. This resulted in the introduction of the partial CDS. Initially, in this study, the common-offset CRS traveltime equation was modified to the common-offset CDS. The hypothetical shot reflector experiment in the CRS method was changed to shot diffraction point experiment. In the introduced operator, two wavefront curvatures, observed at receivers positions, are set equal in order to satisfy the diffraction condition. In the proposed method, we search for accurate attribute sets for each considered offset individually, and then form a new operator by four coherent attributes. Application of the common- offset CDS method on synthetic and field data shows more details of the geological structures with higher quality, while preserving continuity of reflection events. The proposed method is, however, more expensive than the partial and common offset CRS for large dataset. 相似文献

The drastic growth of population in highly industrialized urban areas, as well as fossil fuel use, is increasing levels of airborne pollutants and enhancing acid rain. In rapidly developing countries such as Iran, the occurrence of acid rain has also increased. Acid rain is a driving factor of erosion due to the destructive effects on biota and aggregate stability; however, little is known about its impact on specific rates of erosion at the pedon scale. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of acid rain at pH levels of 5.25, 4.25, and 3.75 for rainfall intensities of 40, 60, and 80 mm h?1 on initial soil erosion processes under dry and saturated soil conditions using rainfall simulations. The results were compared using a two‐way ANOVA and Duncan tests and showed that initial soil erosion rates with acidic rain and non‐acidic rain under dry soil conditions were significantly different. The highest levels of soil particle loss due to splash effects in all rainfall intensities were observed with the most acidic rain (pH = 3.75), reaching maximum values of 16 g m?2 min?1. The lowest levels of particle losses were observed in the control plot where non‐acidic rain was used, with values ranging from 3.8 to 8.1 g m?2 min?1. Similarly, under saturated soil conditions, the lowest level of soil particle loss was observed in the control plot, and the highest peaks of soil loss were observed for the most acidic rains (pH = 3.75 and pH = 4.25), reaching maximum average values of 40 g m?2 min?1. However, for saturated soils with acidic water but with non‐acidic rain, the highest soil particle loss was observed for the control plot for all the rainfall intensities. In conclusion, acidic rain has a negative impact on soils, which can be more intense with a concomitant increase in rainfall intensity. Rapid solutions, therefore, need to be found to reduce the emission of pollutants into the air, otherwise, rainfall erosivity may drastically increase. 相似文献

Transition boundary between Zagros continental collision and Makran oceanic-continental subduction can be specified by two wide limits: (a) Oman Line is the seismicity boundary with a sizeable reduction in seismicity rate from Zagros in the west to Makran in the east; and (b) the Zendan-Minab-Palami (ZMP) fault system is believed to be a prominent tectonic boundary. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the stress field in the Zagros-Makran transition zone by the iterative joint inversion method developed by Vavrycuk (Geophysical Journal International 199:69-77, 2014). The results suggest a rather uniform pattern of the stress field around these two boundaries. We compare the results with the strain rates obtained from the Global Positioning System (GPS) network stations. In most cases, the velocity vectors show a relatively good agreement with the stress field except for the Bandar Abbas (BABS) station which displays a relatively large deviation between the stress field and the strain vector. This deviation probably reflects a specific location of the BABS station being in the transition zone between Zagros continental collision and Makran subduction zones. 相似文献

Retaining walls have been used in many construction projects such as for road and inclined surfaces protection. The damage caused by an earthquake depends on the fundamental frequency, amplitude and the duration of the seismic motion. These parameters strongly depend on the seismic properties of the layers that are near the surface. In the study of retaining walls, in addition to the influence of soil, the influence of topography is also important. In the present study, site response analysis is performed by using finite element software PLAXIS to obtain the effect of various factors such as embedded length of the sheet pile, underground water table, length and angle of the nail, shear wave velocity of soil on site effect and dynamic response. Moreover, for better understanding of the effect of the above parameters, the stability analysis was performed by using shear reduction method. The results show that an increase in the embedded length of the sheet pile and the length of nailing causes an increase in the amplification factor. Moreover, for shear-wave velocity in the range of 200-600 m/s, the amplification factor increases with increase of the shear-wave velocity due to the decrease of nonlinear behavior. 相似文献

Nowadays, there are many new methods for slope stability analysis; including probabilistic methods assessing geotechnical
uncertainties to develop safety factors. In this paper, a reliability index analysis for the Sungun copper mine slope stability
is evaluated based on three methods of uncertainties consisting Taylor series method, Rosenblueth point estimate method and
Monte-Carlo simulation method. Sungun copper mine will be one of the Iran’s biggest mines with final pit’s height of 700 meters.
For this study two of its main slopes were assessed, one dipping to the NE (030) and the other to the SE (140). Probability
density function of cohesion and angle of friction for the slopes were developed using limit equilibrium methods. These shear
strengths were then used to determine the probability density function of safety factor and reliability index using the probabilistic
methods. Results of the probabilistic analysis indicate that with ascending values of the uncertainties the reliability index
decreases. Furthermore, it was determined that with the Monte Carlo simulation the seed number used has little effect on the
reliability index of the safety factor especially with seed numbers in excess of 1200. Variations in the overall reliability
index of safety factor were observed between the two slopes and this difference is explained by the differences in complexities
of the geology within the cross-section. 相似文献

The aims of present study are investigation of endemic plants at Masjed–Daghi area introducing hyperaccumulator and indicator plants for Au, Ag, As, Cu, Mo, Hg, Re, Sb, and Te mineralization and also describe the biogeochemical response pattern over a known Au–Cu mineralized site. The Masjed–Daghi prospecting area is covered by Eocene flysch, andesite, trachyandesite, dacite, rhyodacite, Oligocene agglomerate, and Quaternary deposits. Previous researches reported copper porphyry mineralization and related epithermal gold veins in this area. This study presents that plants with high metal intake enabled us to obtain invaluable information about natural concentrations of chemical elements in the substrate and to recognize new potential areas for mineral prospecting. Stachys inflata has biological absorption coefficient mean exceeding or near hyperaccumulating criterion >1 for most of the elements investigated then could be as a hyperaccumulator. The indicator values belong to S. inflata, Artemisia sp., Salvia sp., Astragalus sp., Peganum harmala, Moltkia coerulea, and Cousinia sp. 相似文献
