Biodegradation in residual basaltic soil contaminated by diesel fuel and biodiesel was assessed by three different techniques comprising natural attenuation, bioaugmentation, and bioventing. The soil was described in terms of its
physicochemical and microbiological characteristics, showing favorable bioremediation conditions. Natural attenua...

This paper presents a new method for predicting the axial capacity of piles from dynamic penetration tests which is based on the concepts of soil dynamics and principles of energy conservation. The energy delivered to the hammerrod-sampler system and transferred to the soil is computed from the numbers of blow counts Nspt and is a...
