Abstract: In this study, we instrument the foundations and towers for two onshore shallow wind turbine generators (WTGs) to evaluate foundation response, quantify in-service loads, and assess the assumptions behind WTG foundation ...

Abstract: Column tests were conducted to evaluate two treatment strategies for reducing and stabilizing hexavalent chromium, Cr(VI), in chromium ore processing residue (COPR): permeation with a

Abstract: Soil-water characteristic curves (SWCCs) are presented for four compacted clay barrier soils that were prepared at different compaction water contents (dry, wet, and optimum water content) and compactive efforts (standard ...

Abstract: Antioxidant depletion was evaluated in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) geomembrane (GM) coupons immersed in radioactive synthetic leachate (RSL) representative of leachate in low-level radioactive waste (LLW) disposal ...

Abstract: This study evaluated migration of five common volatile organic compounds (VOCs) through simulated composite landfill liners that employ a co-extruded geomembrane (GM) with an interior layer of ethylene-vinyl alcohol (EVOH). ...

Abstract: A rating system is introduced that employs life-cycle analysis techniques to provide a quantitative assessment of the environmental and economic sustainability of highway designs. Energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, ...

Abstract: Leaching characteristics of chromium ore processing residue (COPR) for the long term (simulating a 20-year leaching scenario) were investigated using laboratory flow-through column testing with synthetic rainwater and ...
