A compacted mixture of soils from Serra Geral and Botucatu formations were percolated by chemical solutions with several concentrations of K+, Cu++ e cr, in column tests, in order to assess the potential of this mixture as a liner-building material. In the modeling procedures for the results, analytical and sertli-analytical solutions (POLLUTE v.6 software) were used. Additional studies about the electrochemical behavior of these soils were performed, using potenciometric titration, soil buffer capacity, pH in water and KCI and mineralogical assessment by X-Ray Diffraction and differential thermal analysis. The results showed a very strong influence of the soil superficial charge in the competitive íon behavior. -----~----------------------------------------------------------v -------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------
Slope instability phenomena such as mudslides represent a major geohazard in Brazil, which has caused devastation in many states and affected the lives of people, particularly in self-built settlements on steep slopes. This paper presents and discusses slope stability issues encountered in Caxias do Sul in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, which exemplifies the existing situation of landslide risk assessment in southern Brazil. Local geology and ground conditions of the area in relation to slope instability were reviewed and gaps in information required for mitigating risk were identified, such as inadequate geotechnical information and lack of full inspection and continuous monitoring of active landslides. Although risk assessment has been developed for the city and regarded as a fundamental management tool in the mitigation of landslide hazards, the study showed that the risk assessment works are outdated and not effectively considered for the development of the city. With significant unplanned urban expansion (where houses have been self-built on very steep terrains without geotechnical assessment of the ground and slope conditions), new geohazard mapping is essentially This is a pre-print of an article published in Geotechnical and Geological Engineering.
Estudos laboratoriais foram realizados para caracterização geotécnica, mineralógica e físico-química de dois solos lateríticos residuais (arenoso e argiloso) que ocorrem na região sudeste do Brasil, para avaliação do comportamento de uma mistura desses materiais visando o seu emprego como liner. Para caracterização geotécnica, empregaram-se a análise granulométrica conjunta, os limites de consistência e a condutividade hidráulica; para caracterização mineralógica da fracção fina, utilizaram-se as técnicas de análise térmica diferencial e de difração de Raios X; para caracterização físico-química, determinaram-se o pH em água e em KCI, a capacidade de troca catiônica, a superfície específica, a titulação potenciométrica e a capacidade de tamponamento. Para simular o comportamento de contaminantes inorgânicos na Mistura, empregou-se o ensaio de percolação em colunas. Os resultados obtidos permitiram concluir que a Mistura considerada apresenta qualidades básicas satisfatórias em termos de retenção dos íons Cu++, CI- e K+ em concentrações de cloretos de 1O a 41O ppm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
