abstract with increasing population, mine activities for metal proceeding are also increasing, so environment will be influenced by contaminant especially heavy metals. in situ immobilization of heavy metals using inexpensive amendments is considered as a simple and cost-effective approach for reducing heavy metal contamination. in this research we used sequential extraction for assessing reduc...

nowadays acoustic emission (ae) testing based on the kaiser effect (ke) is increasingly used to estimate the in-situ stress in laboratories. in this work, this effect is assessed on cylindrical specimens in numerical simulations of the cyclic loadings including loading, unloading, and re-loading cycles using a 3d code called the particle flow code (pfc) based upon the distinct element method. t...

physical modeling for study of deep foundations can be performed in simple chambers (1g), calibration chambers (cc), and centrifuge apparatus (ng). these common apparatus face certain limitations and difficulties. recently, frustum confining vessels (fcv) have been evolved for physical modeling of deep foundations and penetrometers. shaped as the frustum of a cone, this device applies steady pr...
