Effect of water salinity on the hydro-mechanical behaviour of light backfill material
(2007)A series of one-dimensional compression tests was conducted to examine and compare the hydro-mechanical behaviour of light backfill (LBF) material, composed of 50% bentonite and 50% sand, in the presence of distilled water ... -
Environmental effects on the application of spring load restrictions on low volume roads in Northern Ontario / by Jeffrey Chapin.
(2010)Many jurisdictions throughout Canada and the United States utilize Spring Load Restriction (SLRs) on low volume roads to minimize the damage during spring thaw. The main objective of this research is to develop a SLR method ... -
Management, environmental and energy considerations for woodwaste
(2009)Manufacturing operations that process raw wood, such as sawmills and pulp and paper mills, generate wood residue, such as woodwaste, sawdust, shavings, wood chips and off-cuts, also known as woodwaste. The decomposition ... -
Modeling groundwater flow and transport of contaminants at a former manufactured gas plant in the midwestern USA
(2013-02-01)The processes used to produce manufactured gas for heating, cooking and lighting purposes in North America from the early 1800s to the mid-1900s have generated by- products such as coal tar containing Monocyclic ... -
Modeling the transport of Escherichia coli through the subsurface environment
(2009)Subsurface microbial transport is an important concern in many engineering projects. Expanding the knowledge of this process is important for the risk assessment of sites capable of releasing pathogenic bacterial species ... -
Modelling groundwater flow and contaminant transport at a gold mine site in Northern Ontario
(2015-02-02)The practices of mining and ore processing are used in many countries around the world to extract and concentrate the valuable natural resources found within the rock bodies which make up the earth’s crust. However, the ... -
Transport of Escherichia coli through soil / by Bruce Rosa.
(2007)Sorption is an important process in the retention of pathogens by clay barriers. Batch sorption experiments were conducted to investigate the sorption of nonpathogenic 'E. coli' to illite, kaolinite, and montmorillonite ...
