MERCURY IN THE SEDIMENT OF PELOTAS RIVER BASIN, BRAZIL

MERCURY IN THE SEDIMENT OF PELOTAS RIVER BASIN, BRAZIL

ABSTRACT Many studies have determined the concentration of trace elements in river sediments in Brazil.Notwithstanding, mercury assessments are scarce, especially because of exclusive extraction techniques and expensive analysis techniques.Still, this element is known for its toxicity, persistence, and bioaccumulation, making its presence in the en

Ultimate Support Pressure Determination for Shield Tunnel Faces in Saturated Strata Based on Seepage Flow Control

Existing methods for calculating the ultimate support pressure of tunnel faces do not consider the control of seepage flow.Therefore, a model for calculating the ultimate support pressure under seepage conditions was established based on a two-dimensional water head distribution model and the upper bound theorem of limit analysis.The reliability of
