In this research, possibility of sand capping was experimentally evaluated to control phosphorus release from lake sediment into water body. Three acrylic columns without and with 40 and 80 mm of sand capping were prepared. Phosphorus concentrations of overlying water in these columns were measured. Performances of sand capping were evaluated for 0, 40, and 80 mm of capping thickness by measuring DO, ORP, TP, and $PO_4$-P. For the case without capping, the releasing rate of total phosphorus was higher and dissolved oxygen decreased faster, comparing with those of columns with capping. Total phosphorus concentrations in overlying water were inversely proportional to capping thickness, while phosphate concentration showed no significant differences between both cases. The experiment results suggested that sand capping is effective to retard total phosphorus release from sediment.

This research was carried out to understand the impacts of thickness of sand capping to control phosphorus release from sediment into overlying water. As capping effectively retards release flux, phosphorus concentration in water body can be maintained if phosphorus release rate was kept under microbial degradation rate. With capping thickness increases, deaeration rate become less, while reaeration coefficient become higher. Phosphorus release rate and capping thickness were linearly correlated. The results of regression analysis indicated that phosphorus release can be controlled effectively by sand capping of least 20${\sim}$40 mm thickness.

In this research, speciation of phosphorus in sediment and overlying water dependent upon pH and ORP(Oxidation Reduction Potential) was studied. Three possible conditions were simulated: open system with circulation, closed system with stratification and closed system with sand capping on the sediment. Phosphorus release rate from sediment was increased for both open system and closed system if pH was less than 6.0. Phosphorus concentration for closed system was increased from 0.9 mg/L to 0.51 mg/L, and stabilized at 0.34 mg/L if anaerobic conditions were maintained in the overlying water. When sand capping was implemented, phosphorus concentrations of overlying water were maintained less than those of closed system.

There are a variety of factors affecting measured compressive strength of hardened concrete. One of them is the end surface condition of concrete specimen. So, many capping methods have been developed for the specimen to meet the end condition requirement of ASTM C 39. A series of experimental strength comparison study was carried out using several representative capping methods, including pad capping method which is one of unbonded elastomeric capping system and was newly adopted in the ASTM standard. A comparison was also focused on their economy, convenience, harmfulness, etc.

지금까지 식품, 약품 및 음료 산업 등에서 내용물을 충전 후 밀봉하기 위한 방법이 다양하게 개발되어 사용되고 있으며, 특히 뚜껑을 체결하는 인라인 캐핑머신(In-line capping machine)은 포장 공정에 필수적인 장치이다. 이와 같은 장치의 설계 시 고려되어야 할 사항으로서 작업 공정이 연속적인데 있다. 또한, 어느 한 제품을 용기에 채운 후 완전한 상품으로 조립하기까지, 캐핑머신의 신뢰성은 공정의 연속성과 생산성을 좌우하기 때문에 매우 중요한 요소이다.(중략)

Marine sediment capping is a technique where clean sand is placed over contaminated sediment to reduce the migration of contaminants to the environment. The design of in-situ caps placed over marine sediment must take into consideration the self-weight consolidation of the cap and the consolidation of the sediment as a result of adding the cap layer. Centrifuge tests were adopted to simulate the effects of consolidation settlement of capped marine sediment caused by the placement of a clean sand layer. The modeling of models technique was utilized to verify the correct modeling procedures used in this study. Two centrifuge tests were conducted with the same boundary conditions at different gravitational accelerations of 100 g and 50 g. There was good agreement between these tests. It can be concluded that the centrifuge experiment is able to model consolidation settlement of capped marine sediment.

Dredging and disposal is a conventional method to remove contaminated sediments. However, there are some problems in dredging and disposal, such as disturbance of contaminated sediments, disposal site determination, and high construction cost. Recently, in-situ capping which overcomes the problems of dredging and disposal is widely applied to isolate local contaminated sites. Numerical studies, which have been conducted to simulate contaminant transport during in-situ capping, have been concerned mainly with diffusive transport. However, contaminated sediments experience large strain consolidation induced by self-weight because of initially high moisture content of sediments, and contaminant transport results from advection and diffusion. Previous studies focus on contaminant transport during consolidation, but have neglected consolidation effect on long-term contaminant transport in sediments. This study presents numerical simulation results of consolidation effect on long-term contaminant transport in sediments.

As Total Maximum Daily Load program is being implemented, needs for the management and treatment of contaminated sediment are rising to attain cleaner water resources. In this paper, impacts and management methods of contaminated sediment were reviewed. Remediation technologies for contaminated sediment including dredging, natural attenuation, in situ solidification/stabilization, in situ biological remediation, in situ chemical remediation and capping were reviewed. Integrated remediation scheme was presented as well.

Sandy soils are generally used as a capping material to reduce the pollutants transport from the contaminated dredged sediment. However, dredged material capping is not widely used because regulatory agencies are concerned about the potential for contaminants migration through the cap. Movement of contaminated pore water from sediment into cap is mainly related to sediment consolidation during and after cap placement. To evaluate the significance of consolidation induced transport of contaminants from sediment into cap, research centrifuge tests were conducted. Centrifuge test results illustrate that advection and dispersion are the dominant contaminants transport processes and that capping reduces the potential of contaminant migration from the dredged sediment effectively.
