From a microperspective, this book investigates the interface interaction between organic pollutants and soil skeleton, as well as the electrochemical response and the interface mechanical mechanism of contaminated soil in thermal environments. Considering interface behaviors and mechanisms, a one-dimensional soil column and a large-scale three-dimensional laboratory model using steam injection technology were self-developed for the first time to discuss the removal pathways and effectiveness of pollutants under heat-moisture conditions in a simulated in-situ soil stress. In addition, this...

The book focuses on the role of advanced materials in the food, water and environmental applications. The monitoring of harmful organisms and toxicants in water, food and beverages is mainly discussed in the respective chapters. The senior contributors write on the following topics:

• Layered double hydroxides and environment
• Corrosion resistance of aluminium alloys of silanes
• New generation material for the removal of arsenic from water
• Prediction and optimization of heavy clay products quality
• Enhancement of physical and mechanical...

• Standard Penetration Tests.






• Cone Penetration Tests.









• Vane Test.

• Pressuremeter Tests.









• Dilatometer Tests.

If you use or need to know how to use any or all of these tests, then this is the book for you.

Fernando Schnaid takes each test in turn, showing how and when to use them. The tests are illustrated with nearly 200 figures and photographs, as well as real examples from companies including A.P. van den Berg and Fugro ltd....
