Abstract: In the past few decades, waste generation has increased significantly in India, as well as across the globe. Therefore, to avoid the acquisition of new landfill sites, vertical expansion of existing municipal solid waste ...

Abstract: The accumulated water in the drainage layer of the municipal solid waste landfill veneer cover system becomes the principal cause of the failure of landfill cover. In this study, seismic stability evaluation is carried out ...

Abstract: The present work introduces an analytical framework based on the limit-equilibrium method for the determination of the local factor of safety (FS) and global factor of safety (FSG), and local displacements along the critical ...

Abstract: The accumulated water within the drainage layer of a final cover system of municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills is the foremost reason for the failure of final covers. This study adopts a pseudodynamic (PD) method to ...

Abstract: This paper assesses the reliability of landfill veneer cover systems against direct-sliding failure (DSF) and uplifted-floating failure (UFF) modes using the second-order reliability method (SORM). Variability in stability ...

Abstract: In this paper, an analytical study considering the effect of uncertainties in the seismic analysis of geosynthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) walls is presented. Using limit equilibrium method and assuming sliding wedge failure ...

Abstract: In this paper, an approach for reliability-based design optimization of reinforced concrete cantilever retaining wall is described. A parametric study is conducted to assess the effect of uncertainties in design parameters ...

Abstract: This paper presents the use of pseudodynamic method to compute the rotational displacements of gravity retaining walls under passive condition when subjected to seismic loads. The concept of Newmark sliding block method ...

Abstract: The paper focuses on the reliability-based design optimization of gravity wall bridge abutments when subjected to active condition during earthquakes. An analytical study considering the effect of uncertainties in the ...

Abstract: The paper presents a methodology to carry out the series system reliability analysis of multilayered flexible pavements with respect to correlated fatigue and rutting failure modes. The importance of assessing the uncertainty ...
