Abstract: The objective of this study was to characterize relative changes in waste shear strength parameters during waste decomposition. Twelve direct shear tests (

Abstract: Recently, there has been substantial interest in the enhancement of refuse decomposition in landfills, which results in increased settlement. In this paper, changes in waste compressibility as a function of the state of ...

Abstract: This paper reports the performance of a novel dynamically installed fish anchor under cyclic operational loading in calcareous silt. The investigation was carried out through a series of centrifuge model tests. The results ...

Abstract: Diving upon pullout of an installed anchor leads to an increase in embedment depth and, hence, capacity under operational loadings. It is particularly critical for dynamically installed anchors (DIAs) in calcareous sediments ...

Abstract: The fundamental process involved in the operation of bioreactor landfills is the addition of water and/or the recirculation of leachate into the landfill’s waste mass for rapid waste stabilization, waste decomposition, and ...

Abstract: This paper provides insight into the behavior of a stiffened caisson anchor under inclined cyclic loading in calcareous silt. A series of tests was conducted in a beam centrifuge. A monotonic test was first performed, ...

Abstract: This paper reports the development of a particle breakage model within a finite-element (FE) framework based on the modified Mohr–Coulomb model (MMC). A modified form of the strength-dilatancy relationship is used to ...

Abstract: This paper presents measurements of the in-plane residual stress components through the wall of a 218mm long, 26mm deep repair weld, offset by 7mm from the centerline of a girth weld joining ...

Abstract: Side-punching is proposed as a method of introducing a well-defined residual stress field into a laboratory-sized test specimen. Such a specimen may subsequently be used to assess the influence ...
