Recycling of harbor sediment as lightweight aggregate.
Sediment sampled from Taichung Harbor was mixed with local reservoir sediment at different weight ratios to prepare lightweight aggregate at 1050, 1100, and 1150 degrees C. A pressure of 3000 or 5000 psi was used to shape the powder mixtures into pellets before the heating processes. The results indicate that the leaching levels of trace metals from the lightweight aggregate samples are conside...
متن کاملNonuniform Sediment Transport Modeling at Grays Harbor
A depth-averaged two-dimensional nonuniform sediment transport model is applied to the beaches adjacent to Grays Harbor, WA, USA to test the model skill in predicting nearshore morphology change. The model considers bed material hiding, exposure, sorting, stratification, bed-slope effects, avalanching, non-erodible bed surfaces, and transport due to asymmetrical waves, Stokes drift, roller and ...
متن کاملHarbor/Mooring Harbor Defense Concept
The long-term goal of this work is an integrated defense system that provides protection of Navy assets, while in port, from the threat posed by covert swimmers. The general concept is to hail, deter, and/or incapacitate the threat by directing a controlled level of low-frequency acoustic energy at the target location. At the system level, the concept requires combining elements of target detec...
متن کاملAssessment of Sediment Contamination, Acute Toxicity, and Population Viability of the Estuarine Amphipod Leptocheirus Plumulosus in Baltimore Harbor, Maryland, Usa
In Chesapeake Bay, Maryland, USA, some of the most contaminated sediments are found in the highly industrialized Baltimore Harbor–Patapsco River area. As part of a comprehensive assessment of sediment quality in this system, sediment toxicity was assessed in 10-d acute tests with the estuarine amphipod Leptocheirus plumulosus. Mean amphipod survival was significantly reduced in 7 of the 25 samp...
متن کاملEvidence From A Survey In Rhode Island, USA
This study is to identify factors that affect the use of or the intention to use Internet as a substitute for transportation. Data were collected from a sample of workers who live in Rhode Island, the United States. The findings indicate that work time flexibility, encouraging employers, educator as the occupation, having access to Internet at home, using computers longer than one hour a day, h...
