Indiscriminate land disposal of hazardous chemicals and industrial
wastes, in the due course of time, causes contamination of the
ground water regime as well as the subsurface soil layers. Various
complex geo-chemical processes and mechanisms control the transport
of these contaminants when they come in contact with the soil-water
system.The transport of contaminants is often predicted with the
help of mathematical models dealing with a set of governing
equations, which are solved using either analytical or numerical
methods. However, input parameters for these models can be obtained
by conducting either controlled field experiments or laboratory
column tests. To overcome the limitations associated with the
laboratory and field scale experiments, geotechnical centrifuge
modelling has been adopted by researchers and engineers. This book
highlights such a research program conducted using a geotechnical
centrifuge, and the instrumentation and the testing methodology
adopted for monitoring contaminant transport through geotechnical
centrifuge models. Also, it features, Finite Element modelling to
valid the centrifuge test results. It may be a useful guide to an
aspiring researcher.
