This paper deals with the seismic column design of 35 elevated RC water storage tanks. Tanks comprise a top conic trunk reservoir, variable hollow square cross-sections, and shallow foundation on sand layer. The five-column heights considered are 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 m. five tanks subjected to seven degrees loading characterized by reference peak ground acceleration in Eurocode 8. designed agains...

In this study we investigate the model uncertainties involved in predicting long-term permeable reactive barrier (PRB) remediation efficiency based on a lab-scale column experiment under accelerated flow conditions. A PRB consisting of 20% iron and 80% sand was simulated in a laboratoryscale column and contaminated groundwater was pumped into the column for approximately 1 year at an average gr...

The Atchafalaya inner continental shelf, located along the north-central Gulf of Mexico offshore of Louisiana, is an area of rapid mud accumulation associated with the progradation of a subaqueous delta originating from this Mississippi River distributary. In September–October 2002, this region was impacted by two tropical cyclones (Tropical Storm Isidore and Hurricane Lili) separated by only 7...

Grouting is one of the most commonly adopted technique for soil improvement and strengthening. Adding super plasticizers, accelerators, antifreezes, air entraining agent improves performance cement grout. The grout while injecting in sand column mainly depends on its fluidity property. Keeping it mind about water ratio, strength studied two sets experiments by with only another set added plasti...

Bioretention cells are popular stormwater management systems for controlling peak runoff and improving water quality. A case study on a functional large-scale bioretention cell laboratory column experiment was conducted to evaluate the concentrations retention efficiency of towards tire wear particles (TWP). The presence TWP observed in all soil fractions (<50 µm, 50–100 100–500 >500 µm) ...
