RIA: Development of a System Identification Methodology for Hazardous Waste Site

本研究的目的是应用系统识别方法（SID）的概念来优化现有监测井数据的使用，并提高用于危险废物场地表征的现场信息的可靠性。SID方法虽然在许多其他工程领域得到了成功的应用，但在岩土工程和地质环境工程中却从未得到应用。该方法包括通过观察系统对已知刺激或输入的反应来研究未知系统的特性。在本研究中，未知系统为污染场地。描述系统实际行为的数据将采用现场污染物传播的现有监测井数据的形式。* * *

9408318 Jayawickrama The objective of this research is to apply the concept of System Identification Method (SID) to optimize the use of existing monitoring well data and to improve the reliability of the site information used in the characterization of hazardous waste sites. The SID method which has been successfully employed in many other branches of engineering has never been used in geotechnical and geo-environmental engineering applications. The method involves the study of the characteristics of an unknown system by observing how the system responds to a known stimulus or input.In the proposed research, the unknown system will be the contaminated site. Data describing the actual system behavior will be in the form of existing monitoring well data on contaminant propagation within the site. ***
