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.
The present investigation was undertaken to compare the performance
of indigenous sheep breed of Gujarat state (India) under covered
housing systems vs open housing system. In intense hot dry season
the animals could be maintained comfortably under asbestos roofed
housing system and tree because solar radiation curtailed by 99%.
Animal were less comfortable under Agronet roofed housing system
because solar radiation curtailed by only 75% resulted into
increase in rectal temperature and physiological responses as
compared to asbestos roofed housing system and tree but proves
better when animals are kept in open housing system. Tying of
indigenous sheep under tree during summer season is advocated.
