Abstract: This research paper illustrates the application of a new liner leak detection technique which uses the concept of electrical resistivity to detect leakages in municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills. Liner leakage was simulated ...

Abstract: The stability of earth slopes can be enhanced by introducing an anchoring system. The factor of safety of an anchor-reinforced slope is one of the essential items required to evaluate stability. This parameter can be ...

Abstract: An estimation of the runway pavement deflection during landing for design purposes has been a challenging problem for engineers. This paper presents a simple analytical model to predict dynamic deflection of a runway ...

Abstract: In the recent past, geotextile reinforcement with wraparound ends has been recommended to strengthen foundation soil to enhance the effectiveness of using the reinforcement. This study investigated the effects of reinforcement ...

Abstract: This technical note describes the derivation of an analytical expression for the total active force on the retaining wall for

Abstract: Determination of stress distribution, giving due consideration to arching mechanism within minefill stopes, is of great importance because of its influence on the ground stability, ore recovery, and cost effectiveness. ...

Abstract: In the design of large and tall storage containers/structures such as silos, hoppers, and mine stopes, it is often required to determine the stresses within the container, especially at the bottom where stresses are the ...

Abstract: In hilly and high-rainfall regions, very sharp curves, lack of skid resistance, and poor visibility form a major cause for road-traffic accidents in India and other similar parts of the world. The construction of pavements ...
