Abstract: This paper presents 17 separate applications within the current technology of geosynthetics. They were selected as being illustrative of the wide range of applications that can utilize geosynthetics in geotechnical, ...

Abstract: This paper extends a previously developed method of the writers by using a pseudostatic approach to conduct seismic stability analysis for potential translational failures of multilayer lined landfills. Assuming that the ...

Abstract: The scope of this paper is to develop a new three-part wedge method to analyze translational failure when using an engineered berm to increase landfill space. The possible failure face may pass over the back slope of the ...

Abstract: The scope of this paper is to develop a new analysis method introducing the effect of apparent cohesion of the waste and/or liner materials on the translational failure of landfills. The apparent cohesion of the liner ...

Abstract: Concern has been expressed about the bearing capacity of hydrated geosynthetic clay liners (CGLs), with respect to the possibility of thevarious products decreasing in thickness and thereby sacrificing their lowas-manufactured ...
