The study evaluated, through a series of permeability and diffusion tests, the hydraulic and the attenuation behavior of a compacted clayey soil, with and without the addition of Portland cement (0 to 2%). To evaluate the diffusive response, the specimens were subjected to a vertical static load (100 to 500 kPa), simulating the action of a waste mass, a...
View ArticlePollutants containing metals are an important source of environmental impact. The contaminant’s pH and the soil are factors that influence the migration in the subsurface. The determination of parameters through analytical solutions
is fundamental to predict contaminant subsurface migration in porous media. The objective of this st...
Applying Portland cement to soils is an excellent technique when it is necessary to improve local soil for the construction of stabilized pavement bases and to have a support layer for shallow foundations. Consoli et al. (2007, 2009, 2010) developed a rational dosage methodology for artificially cemented soils based on porosity/ceme...
