The analysis of some physical properties of drained peat-moorsh soil layers
Journal Title: Annals of Warsaw University of Life Sciences – SGGW. Land Reclamation - Year 2013, Vol 45, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper presents the results of measurements of some physical properties for 14 drained fen peat-moorsh layers (degree of decomposition, bulk density, particle density, porosity and saturated moisture content). The soil samples were taken from north-east, central and east part of Poland. These areas were drained in order to use as a grassland and meadows. The article presents obtained data of selected physical properties from several drained peatlands in Poland and shows the comparison of established results with relevant data published in literature.

Selection of material suitable for permeable reactive barriers in the vicinity of landfills
This paper focuses on the criteria proposed for the selection of reactive materials suitable for permeable reactive barriers surrounding waste disposal sites. The criteria were divided into three groups: hydraulic, mecha...
Prediction of free field heave using C[sub]W[/sub] and C[sub]H [/sub]indices
In order to predict free heave in expansive silty clays two methods were applied: CLOD test and double-swelling methods. In both methods C[sub]W[/sub] and C[sub]H[/sub] indices are required respectively to determine the...
