Mechanistic and predictive understanding of needle litter decay in semi-arid mountain ecosystems experiencing unprecedented vegetation mortality. Final report

Technical Report Sharp, Jonathan O.

This research compared needle litter decay rates and underlying mechanisms between litter released from insect-killed trees to that of naturally senesced litter from healthy trees across climate variables with elevation and snowmelt rates as variables. Our research was designed to address questions of whether there is a significant impact to C and N cycling at the terrestrial-atmospheric interface in association with pine needle decomposition and the role of changes in soil moisture and temperature as a function of these processes. Field activities were primarily conducted within the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory’s (RMBL) East River watershed across a spectrum of ecoregionsmore »« less

Consolidation of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant crushed salt/bentonite mixtures as a function of confining pressure and moisture content as compared with constitutive model predictions

Technical Report Brodsky, N S ; Pfeifle, T W

Four hydrostatic consolidation tests were performed on crushed salt/bentonite mixtures to evaluate the influence of moisture on consolidation rate, permeability, and compressive strength. Specimens comprised 30 percent bentonite and 70 percent salt based on total dry weight. Brine was added to each specimen to adjust its total moisture content to between 3.5 and 10 percent (nominal) of the total dry weight. In the consolidation tests, each specimen was subjected to two stages of hydrostatic stress: 0.5 MPa and 3.45 MPa. During each stage, the pressure was maintained at a constant level and volumetric strain data were continuously logged. By usingmore »« less

Moisture ingress in commercial steel drums: Water content determination, diffusion modelling and predicted permeation rates

Journal Article Bustillos, Christian G. ; Bora, Mihail ; King, Gabriella ; ... - Packaging Technology and Science

Abstract Commercial steel drums underpin the global economy, playing a pivotal role in the storage and transportation of critical materials. Transported and stored materials, such as food, chemical and nuclear waste, can be sensitive to ambient conditions, particularly moisture that can enhance negative effects such as corrosion and material degradation. Although international standards and regulations are in place for the qualification of steel drums, there are no current testing requirements, established limits or boundaries for the permeation of moisture into the drums during transportation or storage. This work aims to provide insights into the moisture ingress over time into properlymore »« less

Moisture content and relative permeability in response to dual phase vacuum extraction in a fine grained formation

Conference Vargas, J F

Dual Phase Vacuum Extraction (DPVE) has been applied to the remediation of fine-grained soils as an enhancement to vacuum extraction. DPVE removes groundwater and vapor simultaneously from the subsurface through a well stinger. The implementations of remediation of fine-grained soils using this method have primarily focused on implications to piping design and system equipment design. This article focuses the discussion on the ability of the technology to remediate fine-grained formations as influenced by the relative permeability to air, as the soil is desatuarated. In particular, an in situ moisture monitoring method is applied to evaluate the degree of soil desaturationmore »« less
