The sliding block theory was proposed by Newmark for determining the permanent displacement of embankments and dams under earthquake loading. This paper highlights recent applications of sliding block theory to different geotechnical structures. The equations to determine seismic factor of safety, yield acceleration and permanent displacement are given for rock block, soil slope, landfill cover, geosynthetic-reinforced soil retaining wall, and composite breakwater. The presented equations for seismic stability degenerate to that of static stability in the absence of earthquake. The permanent displacement for various structures can be obtained from that of a horizontal sliding block through a correction factor. A simplified procedure is included for the permanent displacement under vertical acceleration. The sliding block approach is rational for design under high seismic load.  相似文献   

Groundwater contamination: risk management and assessment for landfills in Mar del Plata, Argentina   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3

 This study presents a program for risk management in the contamination of groundwater resulting from leachate in landfills at Mar del Plata (Argentina). The program includes prediction, prevention, monitory observation and mitigation as actions that must be taken prior to, during, and after contamination occurs. This routine aids in the identification of weak points and failures of the program for those who are in charge of making decisions, and will allow better use of limited financial and technical resources based on planning, thus minimizing disconnected determinations. Results of the prediction stage were confirmed through monitoring. The presence of a plume of contamination more than 100 m from the landfill was shown, thus proving that implementation of a monitoring plan to follow the development of the contaminated plume must be implemented, particularly in populated areas which depend on residential wells for their water supply.

Liner design for waste disposal sites   总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5  

A. Bouazza  W. F. Van Impe 《Environmental Geology》1998,35(1):41-54

 Since the beginning of the 1980s waste disposal has become a particularly sensitive issue. This has led to the development of new legislations in the European Community and internationally which resulted in an array of regulations concerning landfill liner design. This paper comments on different "engineered" containment methods with particular reference to landfill liner design. Suggestions based on the review of the different methodologies are given and a case study is presented. Received: 25 February 1997 · Accepted: 16 December 1997  相似文献

GIS-based geomorphological mapping using remote sensing data and supplementary geoinformation: A case study of the Dhaka city area,Bangladesh     

《International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation》2004,6(2):111-125

This study aims to prepare a detailed GIS-based geomorphological map accompanied with landfill sites of Dhaka city area which can be used for multipurpose functionality. Attainment of the geomorphological map is based upon interpretation of the oldest available aerial photographs (1:40,000) and contemporary topographic maps (1:8000) which reflect almost pre-urban ground of Dhaka. Randomly distributed 160 boreholes have been used to prepare representative soil profiles (RSP) to identify the near-surface lithology of the geomorphological units. The study reveals that 13 out of 18 low-lying geomorphic units, comprising 65% of the total area demand landfill practices for urban development. Landfill sites have been merged with urban growth on each low-lying geomorphic unit using a spatially enhanced fused image of IRS-1D PAN and ETM+ bands 5, 4 and 3, acquired February 2000 and 2002, respectively. We found that 43% area of the total low-lying geomorphic units experience fill practices so far. The fill sites have been differentiated into four classes based on their relative thickness. Integration of fill classes with geomorphological map shows the urban dynamics of Dhaka city area till 2002. Due to GIS integration, this map can be rapidly updated to demonstrate temporal modifications in urban ground. It can be used effectively in different geomorphological hazard mapping and urban land-use practices.  相似文献   

DC-resistivity mapping of internal landfill structures: two pre-excavation surveys   总被引：9，自引：3，他引：6  

C. Bernstone  T. Dahlin  T. Ohlsson  H. Hogland 《Environmental Geology》2000,39(3-4):360-371

 Geophysical investigations using 2-D DC resistivity were carried out on old parts of two similar landfills, with waste of different ages. The data sets, which included high data density in both vertical and horizontal directions, were interpreted with 2-D smoothness constrained inversion. The landfills were excavated after the surveying. The objective was to test the capability of the resistivity method as a pre-characterization technique. The objectives were only partially fulfilled. First, the moisture content was the parameter that appeared to exert the dominant control over the resistivity distribution of the landfill. The most important potential information that can be recovered is, therefore, an indication of the waste piles hydraulics. Second, it was neither possible to estimate the amount of recoverable soils, nor to correlate the type of waste with the resistivity models. However, discrete anomalies were identified, and if specific materials are searched for, the resistivity models indicate possible places to search.

Some Advantages of the Duckweed Test to Assess the Toxicity of Environmental Samples     

R. Sallenave  A. Fomin 《洁净——土壤、空气、水》1997,25(3):135-140

In Germany, wastewater legislation requires all municipal and industrial leachate to be subjected to toxicity tests. However, no phytotoxicity tests using higher plants are currently included among the standard tests. Freshwater microalgae have been used in most phytotoxicity tests and have often been considered as surrogates for higher plants. However, microalgae often do not show the same sensitivity as higher plants and have major disadvantages for the testing of unmodified environmental samples. In the following study, we evaluated the suitability of the giant duckweed Spirodela polyrhiza for assessing the toxicity of a municipal landfill leachate and two leachates of copper mining residue. Duckweed static toxicity tests were performed, and frond number was the endpoint used to calculate EC₅₀ values. Symptoms of stress (chlorosis, necrosis, root destruction, and colony breakup) were also recorded. The landfill leachate was toxic with EC_50;96h values ranging from 1.3 to 2.7% leachate (v/v). Toxicity of the copper slag leachate was largely determined by the elution method used. Leachate obtained using conventional German leaching methods (S4-eluate) was not toxic to duckweed, whereas EC₅₀ values for the pH_stat4-eluate ranged from 3.2 to 4.2% leachate (v/v). The results demonstrate the suitability of S. polyrhiza for the testing of unmodified wastewater samples and provide further evidence for the addition of a duckweed toxicity test to the standard tests conducted in Germany.  相似文献   

Nitrate in groundwater of China: Sources and driving forces     

Baojing Gu  Ying Ge  Scott X. Chang  Weidong Luo  Jie Chang 《Global Environmental Change》2013,23(5):1112-1121

Identifying the sources of reactive nitrogen (N) and quantifying their contributions to groundwater nitrate concentrations are critical to understanding the dynamics of groundwater nitrate contamination. Here we assessed groundwater nitrate contamination in China using literature analysis and N balance calculation in coupled human and natural systems. The source appointment via N balance was well validated by field data via literature analysis. Nitrate was detected in 96% of groundwater samples based on a common detection threshold of 0.2 mg N L^?1, and 28% of groundwater samples exceeded WHO's maximum contaminant level (10 mg N L^?1). Groundwater nitrate concentrations were the highest beneath industrial land (median: 34.6 mg N L^?1), followed by urban land (10.2 mg N L^?1), cropland (4.8 mg N L^?1), and rural human settlement (4.0 mg N L^?1), with the lowest found beneath natural land (0.8 mg N L^?1). During the period 1980–2008, total reactive N leakage to groundwater increased about 1.5 times, from 2.0 to 5.0 Tg N year^?1, in China. Despite that the contribution of cropland to the total amount of reactive N leakage to groundwater was reduced from 50 to 40% during the past three decades, cropland still was the single largest source, while the contribution from landfill rapidly increased from 10 to 34%. High reactive N leakage mainly occurred in relatively developed agricultural or urbanized regions with a large population. The amount of reactive N leakage to groundwater was mainly driven by anthropogenic factors (population, gross domestic product, urbanization rate and land use type). We constructed a high resolution map of reactive N source appointment and this could be the basis for future modeling of groundwater nitrate dynamics and for policy development on mitigation of groundwater contamination.  相似文献   

Trials for the construction of a cement solidified retaining structure in a domestic landfill site using deep soil mixing     

M. S. De Silva  N. J. O'Riordan  L. N. Parry 《Engineering Geology》2001,60(1-4):49-60

This paper describes the trials undertaken within a domestic landfill site to assess the feasibility of constructing a cement solidified retaining structure using deep soil mixing. The trials consisted of individual columns extending to the full depth of the landfill, each using different concrete mixes and mixing auger configurations to assess the most successful combinations to achieve full depth, followed by the construction of two trial blocks incorporating several different concrete mixes. The trial blocks were constructed to evaluate the most effective concrete and auger combinations required to construct the retaining structure which if built would be approximately 150 m in length, 15 m deep and 10 m wide.

Grout cube strength has been measured during column installation and post construction the columns were exhumed and core samples taken for laboratory analysis of compressive strength, permeability, freeze/thaw and long-term immersion tests.

The trials have met with only moderate success and indicate that a combination of depth and a difficult substrate as is likely to be encountered in older landfills will severely hinder the process of column installation. No amount of previous characterisation can determine the conditions likely to be encountered at a particular location in such a heterogeneous material.

It is suggested that the calculation of likely success rate for column installation and construction of a large retaining structure can be based on the failure rate of cable percussion boreholes during site investigation. If the failure is greater than 15% the technique is unlikely to be viable.  相似文献
