Pore-water pressure accumulation under dynamic loadings
… analyses were conducted and the level of excess pore-water pressure accumulated during closely spaced earthquakes was investigated. Results of laboratory triaxial compression tests, drained, undrained, and cyclic direct simple shear tests on loose sandy tailings were used to calibrate the soil …

The Behavior of Pore Water Pressure in Cohesive Subgrade Soils
This research focuses on the behavior of pore water pressure in subgrade cohesive soils under Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) tests. The deflection of a pavement structure largely depends on the deformation of subgrade soils, which is in turn dependent upon soil stiffness. Soil stiffness can be …

ORGANIC MATTER IN ANOXIC PORE WATER FROM GREAT BAY, NEW HAMPSHIRE
… sampling sites within the Great Bay Estuary, and pore water obtained by high speed centrifugation of the samples. All sample handling and processing was conducted under oxygen free conditions. It was shown that failure to exclude oxygen from anoxic sediment samples results in changes in both the …

Pore water biogeochemistry and trace metal dynamics in deep intertidal flat sediments
Biogeochemical processes were studied in deep pore waters at different locations in the backbarrier area of Spiekeroog Island, Germany. A multilevel in situ pore water sampler was developed, which allows pore water sampling down to 5 m sediment depth. Sulphate, DOC, and nutrients were studied for …

Investigation of polyethlyene passive samplers' efficacy in deducing sediment pore water concentrations of PCBs
… black carbon, which complicates measurement of pore water concentrations. PE passive samplers are an inexpensive, fast alternative to liquid-liquid extraction of pore waters and sediment extraction with equilibrium partitioning. To demonstrate the potential of PE passive samplers to measure …

The Effects of Vibration on the Penetration Resistance and Pore Water Pressure in Sands
… The tip resistance, sleeve friction and pore water pressure were also measured during the test by load cells and transducers in the cone itself. The vibration and cone data were compiled and compared to evaluate the effect of the vibration on the penetration resistance and pore water …

Effect of Heating Rate on Thermally Induced Pore Water Pressure and Crack Evolution in Clay and Shales
… temperature distribution and the evolution of pore pressure under elevated temperatures. Clay shales, characterized by their extensive geological presence and low hydraulic conductivity, carry immense importance across a wide array of applications, including their pivotal role as caprock in oil …

Performance Evaluation of Epoxy-Coated Reinforcing Steel and Corrosion Inhibitors in a Simulated Concrete Pore Water Solution
… The test solution is a simulated concrete pore water. Corrosion is accelerated by evaluating the temperature to field conditions of 40 C. The test consists of a 7 day pretreatment period followed by a 90 day test period. The corrosive sodium chloride is added to the solution containing the …

The relationship between slope stability and pore-water pressure in highly plastic clay in the Carrot River Basin
… tests showed Φᵣ' ranged from 6.0 to 9.1 °. Pore-water pressure distributions were characterized with models of steady state groundwater flow, drawdown following flooding, and of induced pore-water pressure caused by construction. The flood hydrograph was represented as a total head versus …

Sediment-Pore Water Chemistry of Taupo Volcanic Zone Lakes and the Effect Trophic State has on Exchange with the Water Column
… is to develop an understanding of the sediment-pore water interactions over a range of trophic conditions and how the biogeochemical cycles influence the lake ecosystem and the implications that this has for management of the TVZ lakes. The monthly changes in composition of lake water, pore …

A study of the remineralization of organic carbon in nearshore sediments using carbon isotopes
… of dissolved inorganic carbon (ΣCO2) in sediment pore water. Six cores were collected seasonally over a period of two years. The following species were measured in the pore waters: ΣCO2, δ13C-ΣCO2, PO4, ΣH2S, Alk, DOC, and Ca. Measurements of pore water collected seasonally show large gradients …

A study of the remineralization of organic carbon in nearshore sediments using carbon isotopes
… of dissolved inorganic carbon (XCO2) in sediment pore water. Six cores were collected seasonally over a period of two years. The following species were measured in the pore waters: JC02, &'3 C-2CO2, P04, JH 2S, Alk, DOC, and Ca. Measurements of pore water collected seasonally show large gradients …

Community, structure, activity and ecophysiology of sulfate-reducing bacteria in deep tidal flat sediments
Enhanced pore water exchange facilitates the transport of pore water to deep, sandy sediments and may provide microbial communities with usable substrates. In this thesis sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) were shown to be highly abundant and metabolically active in down to 5 meters depth of a tidal …

Investigations of water and tracer movement in covered and uncovered unsaturated waste rock
… were collected for physical characterization and pore water extraction. The internal structure of the waste rock pile was more important than the texture and topography under the free-dumped and ripped/leveled surface, while the surface condition was found to be the dominant control on spatial and …

The undrained behavior of saturated, dilatant silts
… and dissolved gases exiting solution from soil pore water are the cause of the erratic undrained behavior often observed in triaxial tests on saturated, dilatant silts. The literature indicates that ground water contains various amounts of dissolved gases and that gases dissolved in soil pore …
