Evaluation of Different Laboratory Procedures for Determining Suction–Water Content Relationship of Cohesionless Geomaterials
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Impact of Buffering Agent on Lead Adsorption of Bentonite: An Appraisal
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The knowledge of adsorption characteristics of bentonite (B) is mandatory for heavy metals removal from the wastewater and contaminant retention in landfill liner. Adsorption characterization of geomaterials requires the ...
Hysteresis Model for Water Retention Characteristics of Water-Absorbing Polymer-Amended Soils
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Water absorbing polymers (WAPs) are gaining attention in the field of geotechnical engineering, with application to bioengineered slopes, vegetation growth on landfill covers, and maintenance of green infrastructure in ...
Hybrid Immobilization–Phytoremediation Approach for Constructed Wetlands Minimizing the Geoenvironmental Impact of Chromium-Contaminated Soil
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Soil contamination by heavy metals is a global concern due to their enduring persistence and inherent toxicity. Constructed wetlands represent a cost-effective and dependable green alternative to traditional mechanical ...
Probabilistic Analysis of Soil-Water Characteristic Curve of Bentonite: Multivariate Copula Approach
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Measurement of the soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) is time-consuming for soils such as bentonites. It is desirable to develop a first-hand estimate of SWCC from a statistical generalization of the available data. A ...
Characterization of Moisture Movement in Water Absorbing Polymer–Soil System: Horizontal Absorption Method
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Water absorbing polymers (WAP) have shown their potential as vegetation growth promoters in various soil infrastructures by minimizing the downward migration of water and conserving adequate moisture in the vadose zone ...
