Abstract: The objective of this study was to evaluate the strength reduction of heat-treated and non-heat-treated needle-punched geosynthetic clay liners (NP GCLs) at elevated temperatures. For this purpose, a series of stress-controlled ...

Abstract: The objective of this study was to evaluate variability in reinforcement fibers, peel strength, and internal shear strength of needle-punched reinforced geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs). A methodology was proposed to ...

Abstract: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of binder amendment on the unconfined compression strength (UCS) of mine tailings and assess applicability of using the amended materials in earthworks. Natural and ...

Abstract: The objective of this study is to simulate the stress-displacement behavior of a flexible debris-flow mitigation structure in a three-dimensional finite-element model. Flexible steel ring-net structures are used for ...

Abstract: The objective of this study was to evaluate strategies for addressing missing meteorological (MET) data when predicting the hydrology of a water balance cover for a waste-containment system using a variably-saturated flow ...

Abstract: The objective of this study was to evaluate strategies for addressing missing meteorological (MET) data when predicting the hydrology of a water balance cover for a waste-containment system using a variably-saturated flow ...

Abstract: The objective of this study is to compare the hydrology of prescriptive and water balance cover designs for Larimer County Landfill in Colorado via hydrologic models parameterized from laboratory-measured testing of ...

Abstract: The Deer Track Bioreactor Experiment (DTBE) was a field-scale experiment conducted in a drainage lysimeter (8.2-m height, 2.4-m diameter) to assess the physical, chemical, and biological response of municipal solid waste ...

Abstract: This study focused on quantifying relative contributions of abiotic and biotic compression of municipal solid waste (MSW). Abiotic mechanisms include immediate compression, mechanical creep, and moisture-induced waste ...
