    Chapter 2 Physical Characteristics of the Study Area

    CHAPTER 2 PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE STUDY AREA 2.1. Location of study area The study area incorporates part of north Hertfordshire, south and mid- Bedfordshire as well as the southwest corner of Cambridgeshire and lies approximately 40 km north of London (Figure 1.1). Coverage of the area by British Geological Survey (BGS) 1:50,000 map sheets is shown in Figure 2.1. 2.2. Bedrock geology The strikes of the solid geological formations are approximately northeast- southwest across the study area (Figure 2.2). The solid geological succession is shown in Table 2.1. To the northwest of the Chiltern Hills the Gault Clay forms a rich agricultural landscape, representing a continuation of the Vale of Aylesbury. Beyond this, running approximately from Bow Brickhill (SP915343) to Gamlingay (TL234525) is a discontinuous ridge formed by the Woburn Sands Formation, part of the Lower Greensand. This prominent ‘Greensand Ridge’, rising to 170 m O.D. at Bow Brickhill, separates the Cretaceous clays from the Jurassic Oxford and Ampthill Clays to the northwest. The oldest formation is recorded in a borehole (TL23NE1) at Ashwell (TL286390), where Devonian strata were reached at a depth of 186.54 m, i.e. 93 m below O.D. (Smith, 1992). Lying just beyond the northern boundary of the present study area, north of the River Ouse, a borehole (TL15NE2) at Wyboston (TL175572) penetrated Ordovician rocks of Tremadoc age at a depth of approximately 230 m (Moorlock et al ., 2003). The Oxford Clay of the Upper Jurassic represents the oldest formation outcropping within the study area.

Tysi ˛acleciaPa´nstwa Polskiego 7, 25-314 Kielce, Poland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-41-34-24-571 Abstract: Wastewater treatment processes produce sewage sludge (SS), which, in line with environ- mental sustainability principles, can be a valuable source of matter in the production of lightweight expanded clay aggregate (LECA). The literature on the influence of SS content and sintering tempera- ture on the properties of LECA is scarce. This paper aims to statistically evaluate the effects of SS content and sintering temperature on LECA physical properties. Total porosity, pore volume, and apparent density were determined with the use of a density analyzer. A helium pycnometer was uti- lized to determine the specific density. Closed porosity was calculated. The test results demonstrated a statistically significant influence of the SS content on the specific density and water absorption of LECA. The sintering temperature had a significant effect on the specific density, apparent density, total porosity, closed porosity, total volume of pores, and water absorption. It was proved that a broad range of the SS content is admissible in the raw material mass for the production of LECA.

Disposal of light expanded clay aggregate (LECA) waste into the land causes a severe impact on the environment. LECA is one of the construction materials that are broadly used for various applications. LECA has some excellent properties in its due to technical features, eco-friendly and entirely natural product with a low cost, lightweight, hardness and highly resistant to biological, chemical, and physical degradation forces. Recently, lightweight structural concrete by incorporating lightweight aggregate (LWA) is used to compensate heavy loads by reducing the overall self-weight of structure and minimize the size of the foundation simultaneously. In this study, partially replacement of high content light expanded clay aggregate (LECA) (50, 60, 70, 80, and 90%) have been used to achieve the mechanical properties of high strength LWA concrete. In this study, crushed LECA has been used to achieve compressive strength between 20 to 40 MPa with a density ranged between 1700 to 2000 kg/m3.

Using waste that cannot be recycled or and safe material able to withstand different reused as substitutes for fossil fuels not only reduces climates all over Europe: from the Mediterranean fossil fuel consumption and contributes to a true to Scandinavia. circular economy, it also reduces CO2 emissions. The European expanded clay industry is a For every cubic metre of natural and abundant sustainable industry. It is resource efficient clay, up to five cubic metres of expanded and contributes to a competitive low carbon clay is produced. Using expanded clay saves economy. The industry is committed to energy and reduces CO2 emissions in the continuously reducing the impact of production construction and transport sectors. Its low weight and developing the properties and applications means fewer trucks and fewer journeys, thus of the material to improve its sustainability.
