Abstract: In the present study, the centrifuge modeling approach was utilized to investigate the efficacy of dual-functional hybrid geosynthetics as reinforcement in alleviating the destabilizing effects of rainfall on geosyntheti ...

Abstract: An experimental program was conducted to investigate the influence of geogrid as a reinforcement layer within the soil barrier of a landfill cover system under various levels of distortion. Centrifuge model tests were ...

Abstract: Imperviousness of clay liners is essential in landfills in order to safeguard the environment from contamination. To accomplish this task, the behavior of clay liner of landfills with and without reinforcement inclusion ...

Abstract: The objective of this study is to estimate dynamic compaction (DC) induced settlement of municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills using numerical modeling. Finite element (FE) based analysis is carried out and the corresponding ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to evaluate the deformation behavior of clay-based landfill covers subjected to differential settlements through centrifuge model studies and finite-element analyses (FEA). A series of ...

Abstract: The objective of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of dynamic compaction (DC) on sandy soils with shallow groundwater table in a geotechnical centrifuge. A total of five model tests were conducted on two ...

Abstract: This paper presents an experimental study on flexural testing of three different types of soils molded at three different water contents and two different compaction energies. For this purpose, a custom designed simple ...

Abstract: Tension cracking is a very important phenomenon in the case of compacted fine grained soils, which are commonly used in earth dams, embankments, and waste containment systems. The strength and permeability of earthen ...
