Abstract: In foundation designs, standard penetration test (SPT) blow counts are typically used to estimate shear strength properties of soils. Few correlations are widely in use to make such estimations. However, the selection of ...

Abstract: This paper presents a laboratory investigation of hydraulic conductivity of municipal solid waste (MSW) in landfills and provides a comparative assessment of measured hydraulic conductivity values with those reported in ...

Abstract: A significant portion of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions––that are suspected of contributing to global warming––are emitted from landfills accepting biodegradable organic waste. Thus, the assessment of fugitive ...
