Based on sampling and laboratory analyzing silt loading of 82 city roads and 56 suburb paved roads in Beijing, we using AP-42 emission factor model studied emission characteristics of paved road fugitive dust, and analyzed two methods to determine silt loading of different roads. The results show that silt loading of expressway, major arterial, minor arterial and collectors in city areas is 0.17, 0.34, 1.48, 2.60 g/m2 respectively, and silt loading of national road, province road, county road, village road and municipal road in the suburbs areas is 0.18, 0.56, 1.58, 3.10, 1.58 g/m2 respectively. In the city areas, using the relationship of silt loading and traffic volume,and in the suburbs areas, using the average value of different type roads to determine the silt loading are better. Silt loading and emission factor are negatively correlated with traffic volume, but the emission strength is increased with the increase of traffic volume. Emission strength of different type roads was also studied. In the city areas, emission strength of major arterial is strongest and the value is 130.2 kg/(km x d), and in the suburbs areas, emission strength of national road is strongest and the value is 43.8 kg/(km x d).

Article Synopsis
  • Soil amendments significantly influence how cadmium (Cd) is distributed within different soil aggregate sizes, with mineral and microbial types promoting Cd transfer to smaller fractions while organic amendments increase Cd loading in larger aggregates.* -
  • Advanced techniques like synchrotron radiation-based infrared spectroscopy and nano-scale mass spectrometry were used to analyze the effects of these amendments on Cd behavior in soil, revealing complex interactions with minerals and carbon.* -
  • Findings suggest that mineral and microbial amendments can improve the management of Cd contamination in agricultural soils by promoting its stability in finer soil fractions.*

In cold regions, the extensive distribution of silt exhibits limited applicability in engineering under freeze-thaw cycles. To address this issue, this study employed rice husk carbon and calcium lignosulfonate to stabilize silt from cold areas. The mechanical properties of the stabilized silt under freeze-thaw conditions were evaluated through unconfined compressive strength tests and triaxial shear tests.

Pile foundation structures are widely used in the construction of high-piled wharves in coastal soft soil areas due to their excellent adaptability to such environments. However, the extensive, deep backfilling involved in constructing these wharves can easily induce negative skin friction (NSF) on the piles, resulting in safety issues such as excessive settlement during the service life of the structures. This paper presents an indoor model experiment to examine the distribution of the THE NSF under varying pile-top loads and surcharge effects on single pile and double-sleeve pile foundations.

Soil organic carbon (SOC) accrual, and particularly the formation of fine fraction carbon (OC), has a large potential to act as sink for atmospheric CO. For reliable estimates of this potential and efficient policy advice, the major limiting factors for OC accrual need to be understood. The upper boundary of the correlation between fine mineral particles (silt + clay) and OC is widely used to estimate the maximum mineralogical capacity of soils to store OC, suggesting that mineral surfaces get C saturated.

Flow and contaminant transport dynamics in clay-amended barriers through flushing experiments and multi-porosity-based modeling.

Clay-amended barriers are widely used to prevent hazardous leachate percolation from landfill to subsurface. The performance of these barriers is mostly evaluated through numerical simulations with limited experimental investigation through leachate flushing experiments. To bridge this gap, contaminant loading and its flushing experiments were carried out to assess the performance of clay-amended composite materials as landfill liners.
