Abstract: Leachate recirculation in municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills operated as bioreactors offers significant economic and environmental benefits. However, vertical well (VW) recirculation may not be an effective method because ...

Abstract: Horizontal drains can effectively accelerate the consolidation of soils. In this study, an analytical model for the consolidation of a multilayered soil system with horizontal drainage pipes is developed first. A virtual ...

Abstract: The moving water table would vary soil layering and may significantly affect the isolation efficiency of wave barriers. A two-dimensional finite-element model is then developed using COMSOL to study the influence of the ...

Abstract: Flowslides are rapid gravity-driven flows of sediment-water mixture that typically occur following slope failures in soils, tailings, and municipal solid wastes, but the progressive state transition during the evolution ...

Abstract: The dynamic compaction (DC) method is a versatile ground treatment technique with growing popularity. It is applicable to a wide variety of soil types and conditions, particularly sandy materials and granular fills. This ...

Abstract: An analytical model was developed to simulate migration of methane (CH4), oxygen (O2), carbon dioxide (CO2), and nitrogen (N2) through a four-layer landfill biocover, which can account for the four-layer structure and the ...
