(573° K.). In the beginning, filtering aids, such as kieselguhr, settle and deposits on the candle-like filtering elements so as to form, together with filtering residues collected there, a firm tubular filter cake. The filter cake surrounds the candle-like filtering elements and is not ...
Smaller floods in the Hassayalnpa River (recurrence intervals ranging from 2 to 10 years) also have been deposifional and have contributed to incre- mental building of channel banks and terraces with fine sediments (silts) at rates ranging from <1 to >8 cm per year (Stromberg et al. ...
Alluvial deposits, which are mainly sediments with high void ratios, have not completed their geological formation. Since they contain organic matter, their bearing capacity and shear strength are low, and they are included in the class of problematic soils. The damage and financial losses that ...
flow deposits, most often in desert environments, but also noted in humid, glacial environments as well (outwash fans in front of melting glaciers). When alluvial fans coalesce along mountain fronts they form a bajada. 4 The upper surface of an alluvial fan is dominated by braided streams, ...
Combined ERT and GPR transects revealed the depth of the sand and gravel deposits (Holme Pierrepont sands and gravels), whilst the GPR provided information about the depositional environment. Remote sensing using light detection and ranging proved essential in the original geological survey because it...
The sequence of units (or synthems sensu [43]) is characterized at the base by the hectometric thicknesses of Pliocene clay marine sediments (FAA), which are discordantly overlapped by progressively more continental deposits, from shallow marine and fan-deltas (ATS and CMZ) to alluvial plain...
