Abstract:
Transport and reactivity of carbon in the critical zone are highly controlled by reactions of dissolved organic matter (DOM) with subsurface soils, including adsorption, transformation and exchange. These reactions are dependent on frequent wet–dry cycles common to the unsaturated zone, particularly in semi-arid regions. To test for an effect of wet–dry cycles on DOM interaction and stabilization in subsoils, samples were collected from subsurface (Bw) horizons of an Entisol and an Alfisol from the Catalina-Jemez Critical Zone Observatory and sequentially reacted (four batch steps) with DOM ex

Abstract:
Climate change has led to more extreme weather during the last decades. Seasonally hot weather regions have experienced harsh winters. Similarly, the global warming has contributed to raising the mean summer temperature in the cold regions. Geomaterials in various engineering applications are expected to experience such changes in the weather patterns and may undergo freezing, thawing, wetting and drying processes. This thesis presents an experimental study of the one-dimensional volume change behaviour of some geomaterials under the combined influence of freeze-thaw and wet-dry cycles. Labora

Abstract:
Van den Akker et al. (2003) stated that “European subsoils are more threatened than ever in history” in an editorial referring to the results of the European Union concerted action “Experiences with the impact of subsoil compaction on soil crop growth and environment and ways to prevent subsoil compaction”. Compaction of agricultural soils not only reduces yields but can lead to pollution of surface waters and the release of greenhouse gases. Understanding, therefore, how, and to what extent, subsoil compaction may be reversed seems of vital importance. The literature suggests that soils with

Abstract:
Moisture or water damage in asphalt mixtures can be defined as the loss of strength and durability, and an increase in stiffness leading to a more brittle behavior of materials and cause the adhesive failure at the binder-aggregate surface and/or cohesive failure within the binder or mastics. The performance and behaviour of asphalt mixtures are strictly dependent on the response of bituminous binders and mastics. The scope of this research is to acquire information on how moisture may affect rheological and chemical properties of different mastics made by different fillers. A neat bitumen and

Abstract:
The overarching goal of the doctoral thesis was thus the development of a systematic procedure capable to examine and enhance the role of geomechanical and climatic processes in rockfall susceptibility, performed with statistically based and Machine Learning techniques. To achieve this purpose, two case studies were analysed in the Italian Alps (Valchiavenna, Lombardy Region; Mountain Communities of Mont Cervin and Mont Emilius, Aosta Valley Region). For both case studies, Generalized Additive Models (GAM) were used for rockfall susceptibility assessment; for the Valchiavenna case study, a Ra

La destruction par brûlage de munitions chimiques de la Première Guerre Mondiale a provoqué une contamination importante de la partie supérieure du sol du site de la Place-à-Gaz par l’arsenic, le zinc, le cuivre et le plomb. Le traitement thermique a eu pour effet de minéraliser l’As des agents de guerre organoarséniés, et de former un assemblage minéral inattendu composé d’arséniates de Zn, Cu et Fe, et d’une phase amorphe riche en Fe, As, Zn, Cu et Pb. Ce matériel amorphe est la principale phase porteuse de l’As et des métaux dans la zone la plus polluée. Le site est sujet à des changements

Abstract:
This thesis deals with the problems of wounding of low potential transferred from steam turbine condenser. First, in the theoretical part variations of steam condenser design are described. Then there is a description of variations of cooling cycles and possibilities of their operation range. In second part of the thesis there are two common cooler options chosen. Those are wet cooling tower with natural draft and dry chiller with forced draft. Two types of cooling liquid are chosen to be used for dry cooling. These are water and the other one is 50 % mixture of water and propylene glycol. Bas
