Abstract:
AbstractEstablished patterns of soil behaviour are used to illustrate: the divergence between parameters from laboratory and in situ tests; the changes in effective stress caused by sampling; and the influence of initial effective stress, p′0 on the measured strength and deformation parameters for cohesive soils.Current practice in onshore site investigation continues to make use of the unconsolidated undrained triaxial test in which p′0 is not controlled. Variations in p′0 after sampling and subsequent handling are shown to contribute to the scatter in undrained compression strength data.A plea is made for BS 5930 to encourage the measurement of effective stress in all undrained triaxial tests; to recognise the non-linear nature of soils; and to urge integration of laboratory and in situ tests.

Abstract:
One of the primary objectives of the Canadian Liquefaction Experiment (CANLEX) project was to evaluate in situ testing techniques and existing interpretation methods as part of the overall goal to focus and coordinate Canadian geotechnical expertise on the topic of soil liquefaction. Six sites were selected by the CANLEX project in an attempt to characterize various deposits of loose sandy soil. The sites consisted of a variety of soil deposits, including hydraulically placed sand deposits associated with the oil sands industry, natural sand deposits in the Fraser River Delta, and hydraulically placed sand deposits associated with the hard-rock mining industry. At each site, a target zone was selected and various in situ tests were performed. These included standard penetration tests, cone penetration tests, seismic downhole cone penetration tests (giving shear wave velocity measurements), geophysical (gamma-gamma) logging, and pressuremeter testing. This paper describes the techniques used in the in situ testing program at each site and presents a summary and interpretation of the results.Key words: CANLEX, in situ testing, shear wave velocity, geophysical logging, pressuremeter.

Abstract:
A new type of computer-controlled instrument has been developed to measure microviscoelastic properties of thin materials. It can independently control and measure indentation loads and depths in situ revealing information about material creep and relaxation. Sample and indenter positions are measured with a specially designed polarization interferometer. Indenter loadings can be varied between 0.5 and 10 grams and held constant to ±41 mg. The resulting indentation depths can be measured in situ to ±1.2 nm. The load required to maintain constant indentation depths from 0.1 to 5.0 microns can be measured in situ to ±3.3 mg and the depth held constant to ±15 nm.

Abstract:
Applications of nanomechanical testing methods have become increasingly important in all fields of material research. There is a significant interest in obtaining information about material features at small scales, in order to get a detailed characterization of the materials deformation behavior. To meet the needs, various experimental techniques have been developed to explore mechanical properties at micro-and nanoscale. So far, most small-scale mechanical testing methods have been done at room temperature, since it does not require the special modification of equipment. However, engineering materials are often used at temperatures other than room temperature. The oil and gas industry in the arctic areas are on increase and exploration of these fields require high strength materials capable of significantly reducing the probability of failure in the critical extreme environments. Iron alloys along with other metals are by far the most common metals used in the industry due to their great range of desirable properties.In view of the long-standing contradictory statements on the deformation of bcc single crystals and their macroscopic slip planes, recent insights and developments are reported in this thesis. The literatures reveals that the flow stress of Fe have a pronounced dependence of crystal orientation and temperature, mostly due to non-planar spreading of a/2<111> type dislocation cores [1]. They exhibit complex slip modes during deformation and show a severe glide direction sensitivity due to the dislocation core structure. Recently conducted experiments on pure Fe micropillars, shows that slip is activated on both {110} and {112} planes at room temperature. Additionally, slip systems with lower stressed planes are sometimes preferable. However, experimental confrontations of the slip behavior of pure Fe at low temperatures are generally missing in the literature.In the present investigation, attention is focused on constructing and developing a nanomechanical cooling system to study slip behavior of bcc &#945;-Fe at low temperatures. The experimental work included in-situ uniaxial compression tests of Focused Ion Beam (FIB) fabricated pillars with a diameter of 1&#956;m, in the single slip orientations <235> and <149>. Characterization of the crystallographic orientations was done by Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) analysis, where grains of interest were highlighted. The testing was conducted inside of a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) equipped with a PI85 PicoIndenter provided by Hysitron, and the constructed cooling system.From the experimental and analytical work it is concluded that the constructed cooling system has the capability to reduce the sample temperature down to -90°C, whereas the simultaneous cooling of the sample ensure reliable mechanical tests. From the in-situ compression tests at low temperatures, it is seen from slip trace analysis that slip is activated in both {110} and {112} planes, where slip systems with lower Schmid factors are more preferable than the ones with higher stresses, for <235> oriented pillars. Furthermore, it is observed an increased strength with decreasing temperature, by comparing the present results with Rogne and Thalow`s work [2], where Fe pillars of same size were tested at room temperature. The temperature dependency is more prominent for <235> oriented pillars, than for <149> oriented pillars. <235> oriented pillars exhibits 39.8% higher stress at 2.5% strain at -90°C, than <235> oriented pillars obtain at room temperature (1070MPa vs. 644MPa). For <149> oriented pillars a 10.3% higher stress is obtained at -90°C, than <149> oriented pillars obtain at room temperature (710 vs. 637MPa). It is assumed that the subsequent deformation mechanisms are affected of the relative microstructural features of the bcc structure for the different grain orientations. Additionally, activation of secondary slip systems could be aivresult of the breakdown of Schmid`s law as well as small misalignments between indenter tip and pillar top-surface.

Abstract:
A cement borehole plug and a crushed tuff/bentonite clay mixture borehole plug were tested insitu in highly welded tuff. The hydraulic performance of the cement plug was evaluated through steady-state and transient hydraulic tests with a hydraulic conductivity in the range of 10⁻¹⁰ cm/s. A crushed tuff/bentonite mixture plug was tested through a steady-state flow test with a measured hydraulic conductivity of 10⁻⁹ cm/s. The plug was installed in a fractured borehole which was grouted to reduce the overall rockmass permeability. Installation procedures were evaluated in the laboratory prior to field installation. Installation of the cement seal with a bailer indicated seal degradation with water present in the borehole. Degradation appeared as piping, both internal and along the interface, and mixing of the cement with the water. Tests on the mixture seal indicated the need for homogeneous placement and adequate compaction to resist internal water piping and channelling.

Abstract:
L'analyse quantitative de volumes 3D obtenus par tomographie permet l’identification et la validation de modèles. La séquence d’analyse consiste en trois problèmes inverses successifs : (i) reconstruction des volumes (ii) mesure cinématique par corrélation d'images volumiques (DVC) et (iii) identification. Les très longs temps d’acquisition nécessaires interdisent de capter des phénomènes rapides. Une méthode de mesures, Projection-based Digital Volume Correlation (P-DVC), raccourcit la séquence précédente en identifiant les quantités clés sur les projections. Cette technique réduit jusqu'à 2 le nombre de radiographies utilisées pour le suivi de l’essai au lieu de 500 à 1000. Cette thèse étend cette approche en réduisant la quantité d’informations acquises, rendant ainsi accessibles des phénomènes de plus en plus rapides et repoussant les limites de la résolution temporelle. Deux axes ont ainsi été développés : - d’une part, l'utilisation de différentes régularisations, spatiales et temporelles des champs 4D (espace/temps) mesurés généralise la méthode P-DVC (avec volume de référence) à l'exploitation d’une seule radiographie par étape de chargement. L’essai peut désormais être réalisé de façon continue, en quelques minutes au lieu de plusieurs jours; - d’autre part, la mesure du mouvement peut être utilisée pour corriger le volume reconstruit lui-même. Cette observation conduit à proposer une nouvelle procédure de co-détermination du volume et de sa cinématique (sans prérequis), ce qui ouvre ainsi de nouvelles perspectives pour l’imagerie des matériaux et médicale où parfois le mouvement ne peut pas être interrompu. Le développement de ces deux axes permet d’envisager de nouvelles façons de réaliser les essais, plus rapides et plus centrés sur l’identification de quantités clés. Ces méthodes sont compatibles avec les récents développements « instrumentaux » de la tomographie rapide en synchrotron ou laboratoire, et permettent de réduire de plusieurs ordres de grandeurs les temps d’acquisition et les doses de rayonnement
The quantitative analysis of 3D volumes obtained from tomography allows models to be identified and validated. It consists of a sequence of three successive inverse problems: (i) volume reconstruction (ii) kinematic measurement from Digital Volume Correlation (DVC) and (iii) identification. The required very long acquisition times prevent fast phenomena from being captured.A measurement method, called Projection-based DVC (P-DVC), shortens the previous sequence and identifies the kinematics directly from the projections. The number of radiographs needed for tracking the time evolution of the test is thereby reduced from 500 to 1000 down to 2.This thesis extends this projection-based approach to further reduce the required data, letting faster phenomena be captured and pushing the limits of time resolution. Two main axes were developed:- On the one hand, the use of different spatial and temporal regularizations of the 4D fields (space/time) generalizes the P-DVC approach (with a known reference volume) to the exploitation of a single radiograph per loading step. Thus, the test can be carried out with no interruptions, in a few minutes instead of several days.- On the other hand, the measured motion can be used to correct the reconstructed volume itself. This observation leads to the proposition of a novel procedure for the joint determination of the volume and its kinematics (without prior knowledge) opening up new perspectives for material and medical imaging where sometimes motion cannot be interrupted.end{itemize}The development of these two axes opens up new ways of performing tests, faster and driven to the identification of key quantities of interest. These methods are compatible with the recent ``hardware" developments of fast tomography, both at synchrotron beamlines or laboratory and save several orders of magnitude in acquisition time and radiation dose

Abstract:
The arctic is an appealing new ventures area for the oil and gas industry. However the climate is extremely demanding, and more technically challenging than any other environment. With design temperatures down to -60°C the ductile to brittle transition temperature (DBTT) is an important concern. The propagation of a brittle fracture in iron and steel requires much less energy than that associated with a ductile fracture. Once a material is cooled below the DBTT, it has a much greater tendency to shatter on impact instead of bending or deforming. The brittle-ductile behavior of BCC crystals has long been an area of intensive study, however the fundamental mechanisms that control the transition have not yet been explained. The rapid development within nanotechnology has made it possible to conduct small scale fracture experiments. The development of innovative nanomechanical testing techniques could lead to a better understanding of fracture properties at low temperatures, quantitative information on local stress requirements for crack propagation and subsequently explain the fundamental mechanisms that control the ductile to brittle transition. Advanced fracture experiments of pure iron at a micron scale have been completed. Electron Backscatter Diffraction analysis were conducted in order to determine the crystal orientation of the surface grains. Micro-cantilevers with dimensions of approximatly 2x2x10 &#956;m were fabricated, in grains with preferred crystal orientation, by means of Focused Ion Beam (FIB) milling. The cantilevers were then loaded in a controlled manner to obtain load displacement data using a Picoinenter. The use of a picoindenter combine with a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) has shown to be a valuable tool since it allows events observed in the mechanical data to be correlated directly with the corresponding deformation mechanisms witnessed through the electron microscope. Extensive work has been put in to designing and constructing a cooling system, in order to conduct micro fracture experiments at low temperatures. The developed cooling system consists of a liquid nitrogen tank mounted on an SEM port, which is mechanically connected to the sample through a coldfinger. The thermal conductivity of the cooling system proved be sufficient; after approximately 1,5h a temperature of -90°C was reached, and loading of cantilevers at room temperature, -70°C and -90°C were successfully conducted. All cantilever were plastically deformed during loading, but no fracture occurred. Due to the absence of fracture the critical stress intensity factor, i.e. fracture toughness, could not be determined. However the preliminary stress intensity, (KQ) was calculated using five different methods. The results showed a drop in the preliminary stress intensity values between -70°C and -90°C. The KQ values may indicate the stress causing the first deviation from ideal elastic behavior by dislocation movement and plastic deformation. By this, the stress at which plastic deformation starts, decrease with decreasing temperature. It was not possible to measure the Crack Tip Opening Displacement (CTOD) directly during in-situ experiments, due to low image resolution. However, CTOD was calculated with two different methods: the hinge model and the double gauge model, both relying on the measurements of CMOD during loading. CTOD values for the two different methods were compared, however, they did not correlate. The double gauge model is probably the most accurate method since it is a direct approach and independent of the global behavior, whereas the hinge model relies on accurate values for the rotational center.

Abstract:
For various reasons, existing methods for the assessment of aquatic pollution do not always adequately address the way in which contaminants affect receiving environments and their component ecosystems. The main advantage of biological assessment over the measurements of physical and chemical aspects of water quality is that biota provide an integrated response to all prevailing influences in their environment. Biological assessment protocols have been developed for a range of test organisms, from bacteria to mammals using measurement from molecular biomarkers to indicators at the population or community level of organisation. Macroinvertebrates in particular have been popular for ecological assessment of habitat and water quality because they are small and straight forward to sample and identify using relatively simple and inexpensive equipment and readily available taxonomic keys. However, various biological assessment techniques also have their limitations. Field-based assessment of biological communities does not provide direct evidence to determine underlying causal relationships, while laboratory or mesocosm toxicity tests are criticised for their limited ability to extrapolate to natural field conditions. To help bridge the gap, this thesis aims to investigate the efficacy of using caged macroinvertebrates in situ to assess the ecological condition of aquatic environments, and whether a causal relationship can be established when macroinvertebrates are deployed in situ at sites known to have impaired water quality. Endpoints employed in this thesis include survival, measurements of morphology (as a surrogate for growth) and condition and, for trials assessing sites that receive mine drainage, the tissue concentration of certain trace metals. Development of an in situ approach to water quality monitoring and assessment will potentially provide methods for use by resource managers, community groups and aquatic researchers that are less expensive and faster to run than existing methods and will complement other approaches employed in the assessment of water quality. In situ testing of water quality using macroinvertebrates requires the collection, handling, caging, deployment and retrieval of test organisms at sites of suspected pollutant impact. As such procedural factors may affect test organisms and potentially confound their responses, it is important to consider and understand as many of these factors as possible. Aquatic macroinvertebrates held in finer mesh cages had larger heads than in coarser mesh cages. This was likely due to increased substrate available for growth of epilithon and periphyton on which the caged organisms could graze. Caging density had no effect on amphipod mortality over the trial period, however, individuals held at higher densities increased in size (as indicated by longer dorsal lengths) more than those held at lower or intermediate densities. Temporary storage of test organisms in laboratory aquaria may facilitate the collection of abundances required for in situ trials, however, tanked individuals were smaller and had lower biomasses than individuals collected and deployed immediately. While this is likely to result from differences in feeding during the storage period, it is also possible that tank storage and the ?double handling? deleteriously affected them, or reduced their tolerance. The effects of transplanting macroinvertebrates between sites varied considerably depending on the characteristics of "source" and "transplant" sites. Certain taxa suffered marked mortality within 24 hours even at their source site, indicating an adverse effect of the caging itself, or perhaps via the change in food, shelter or microclimate which could potentially render them unsuitable as test organisms in caging studies. Other taxa did not differ in survival or body size when relocated between sites, with some evidence of increased growth at sites dissimilar from their source site. In general, organisms relocated to sites that are "similar" to their source environment performed less well at the transplant site. However, organisms transplanted to "dissimilar" sites were found to be bigger than those caged and deployed back to the source site. When employed to assess known pollution scenarios in and around Canberra, macroinvertebrate responses were, in some instances, able to be linked to specific environmental parameters or combinations thereof. In Case Study 1, findings varied in relation to the response endpoint being examined, and between test species, although concentrations of metals were significantly higher in tissue of macroinvertebrates deployed at the impact site downstream of the abandoned Captains Flat mine and increased with time exposed. In Case Study 2, freshwater shrimp suffered significant mortality within 24 hours of deployment at the impact sites, with larger individuals more susceptible at sites receiving urban stormwater runoff. While various biological effects were most closely correlated with ammonia concentrations at the site, different body size endpoints were affected in opposite ways. In Case Study 3, body size endpoints for one test organism varied consistently with respect to site and time factors, but none of the changes could be linked to any of the environmental data collected. Response variables for a different test species also indicated significant effects arising from both deployment site and time, however, each endpoint responded in a different way to the treatment factors, and aligned with different combinations of environmental data. In general, linking of macroinvertebrate responses with environmental data was difficult because of the high variability in the environmental data. However, it was further complicated by the mismatch in the level of replication between the two datasets. As a consequence of this, the macroinvertebrate data had to be collapsed to a lower level for comparison with the environmental data, resulting in a loss of natural variability and analytical power. Since only the strongest treatment effects, which could be detected above the background "noise", were detected and modelled against the environmental data, it is possible that other "cause" and "effect" relationships may have been overlooked. From these results, it is clear that many macroinvertebrate taxa are suitable for use as bioindicators in in situ trials, but that criteria used for selection of test species should definitely include more than just impact-sensitivity and abundance. However, there are several aspects associated with the experimental set up of field-based protocols involving caged macroinvertebrates that may limit their usefulness as a rapid and reliable bioassessment tool, and need to be considered when designing and undertaking these kinds of trials. It is also apparent that choice of endpoint can greatly influence conclusions, with detection of treatment effects reported in this thesis varying greatly depending on which morphological endpoint was examined. This study clearly demonstrated that there may be significant difficulties in establishing causal relationships between environmental data and biotic responses of macroinvertebrates deployed under field conditions. However, it has also shown that deployment of caged macroinvertebrates in situ may assist in the determination of biological effects arising from impaired water quality, which can then serve as the basis for more focussed laboratory or mesocosm studies in which environmental conditions can be more readily controlled or monitored.

Abstract:
The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) is the most widely used in-situ soil test in the world. "Large Penetration Test" (LPT) is a term used to describe any scaled up version of the SPT. Several types of LPT have been developed around the world for the purpose of characterizing gravel deposits, as SPT blow counts are less reliable in gravels than in sands. Both tests suffer from the lack of a reliable means of determining transferred energy. Further, the use of LPT blow counts is generally limited to calculation of equivalent SPT blow counts using correlation factors measured in sands. Variation of LPT blow counts with grain size is assumed to be negligible. This research shows that safety hammer energies can be reliably estimated from measurements of hammer impact velocity for both SPT and LPT. This approach to determining transferred energy is relatively simple, and avoids the primary limitation of existing methods, which is the inability to calibrate the instrumentation. Transferred energies and hammer impact velocities are collected from various sources. These data are used to determine the ratio between the hammer kinetic energy and the transferred energy (energy transfer ratio, ETR), which is found to follow a roughly Normal distribution for the various hammers represented. An assessment of uncertainty is used to demonstrate that an ETR based approach could be superior to existing energy measurement methods. SPT grain size effects have primarily been characterized as the variation of an empirical relative density correlation factor, (CD)SPT, with mean grain size. In this thesis, equivalent (CD)LPT data are back-calculated from measured SPT-LPT correlation factors (CS/L). Results of a numerical study suggest that SPT and LPT grain size effects should be similar and related to the ratio of the sample size to the mean grain size. Based on this observation, trend-lines with the same shape as the (CD)SPT trend-line are established for the back-calculated (CD)LPT data. A method for generating the grain size effect trend-line for LPT is then proposed. These trend lines provide a rational approach to direct interpretation of LPT data, or to improved prediction of equivalent SPT blow counts.
