White Paper: Tiltmeter-Based Bridge Scour Monitoring
Scour is by far the primary cause of bridge failures in the United States. Scour and other hydraulic effects are particularly threatening because the deterioration is often invisible , hidden beneath turbid water. Many scour monitoring methods attempt to measure the development of scour pockets themselves. However, this is difficult due to debris — both floating and submerged — and shifting str...
متن کاملAdvanced Noninvasive Geophysical Monitoring Techniques
Geophysical methods can be used to create images of the Earth’s interior that constitute snapshots at the moment of data acquisition. In many applications, it is important to measure the temporal change in the subsurface, because the change is associated with deformation, fluid flow, temperature changes, or changes in material properties. We present an overview of how noninvasive geophysical me...
متن کاملLaboratory Measurement of Geophysical Properties for Monitoring of CO2 Sequestration
Both seismic and electrical properties depend on the mineralogical composition of the rock, porosity, fluid content, and in situ stress state. Previous work on effects of CO2 on seismic velocities is limited. Wang and Nur, 1989, measured both compressional (Pwave) and shear (S-wave) velocities on a number of sandstones saturated with nhexadecane and then flooded with CO2. They made measurements...
متن کاملOn Being Morally Expendable
Inevitably, assessing the moral value of life seems to leave us stuck between a rock and a hard place. If we hold that life is intrinsically valua ble, that commits us to respecting plants and paramecia as ends in them selves and to explaining how the change from organic to inorganic is in and of itself a moral loss. That evalu ation seems exaggerated, and who knows how even to begin to expl...
متن کاملAn automatic multiple launcher for expendable probes
A main goal of a ships of opportunity program is the provision of near real time temperature profiles. The use of expandable probes allows the reduction of costs, in comparison to usual scientific cruises. A major cost effectiveness can be achieved by using an automated multiple launcher, that can be used with a minimum personnel effort. A mul-5 tiple launcher, developed in the framework of the...
