Abstract: As part of predesign studies for closure of the Operating Industries, Inc. (OII) landfill Superfund site, field and laboratory studies were combined with back analyses of strong motion data to characterize the behavior of ...

Abstract: The Olympic View Sanitary Landfill (OVSL) near Port Orchard, Washington, is a modern solid waste sanitary landfill covered, in part, by a composite cover system. The site was subjected to a free-field peak horizontal ground ...

Abstract: Both theoretical analysis and laboratory test data indicate that for normally consolidated soft clays the coefficient of lateral earth pressure at rest, K

Abstract: Deep mixed columns often penetrate partially into the soft soil as floating columns due to the depth of the end-bearing layer. Partially penetrated soft soil by columns and the underlying compressible soft soil create a ...

Abstract: Laboratory testing shows that microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) through microbial denitrification can improve the mechanical properties of a sand without inducing significant interparticle cementation. ...

Abstract: Deterministic and probabilistic analyses of the stability of gentle infinite slopes subject to seismically induced excess pore pressures and inertia forces are developed. In the deterministic analysis, classical equations ...

Abstract: Following ten days of extremely heavy rains from two typhoons, a fast moving slope failure of municipal solid waste was triggered at the Payatas Landfill, Quezon City, Philippines. The wasteslide buried more than 330 ...

Abstract: The potential of saturated deposits of cohesionless soil in downtown San Francisco to experience initial liquefaction due to seismically induced pore pressure is evaluated. Initial liquefaction, or the zero effective stress ...
