Distribution coefficients and apparent diffusion coefficients of cesium in some compacted bentonites were determined by the penetration profile method. Cylindrical compacted bentonites with the dry density of 0.8 to 1.6 Mg/m3 were contacted with tracer solutions containing 1000, 100 or 10 ppm of cesium. The apparent diffusion coefficients …

Abstract. Gravel cushions are widely used to absorb the impact energy of falling rocks in open-pit mines. A particularly important application is to enhance the energy-absorbing capacity of rockfall sheds. In this paper, we study how varying the thickness and particle size of a gravel cushion influences its energy-consumption and buffering effects. We …

The permeability coefficient is represented by k, where 'k' refers to the hydraulic conductivity of a soil or porous medium. In other words, the coefficient indicates the intrinsic ability of soil to allow water to pass through it. A higher hydraulic conductivity shows that soil can flow through the medium more easily.

Static Friction Coefficients. The friction coefficients considered below are for static friction cases where two solid surfaces in contact with each other are resisting relative lateral motion. It should be noted that there can be significant differences between static friction (typically higher) and kinetic (sliding) friction

A gravel is well graded if Cu > 4 and Cc = 1-3. For the grain size distribution curve shown in Fig. 3.1, D10 = 0.013 mm, D30 = 0.47 mm, D60 = 7.4 mm, Cu = 569 and Cc = 2.3. Therefore, it is a well graded soil. It can also be seen that this soil contains 53% gravels, 30% sands and 17% fines. A soil that is not well graded is poorly graded.
