Abstract: Alternative earthen final covers are being considered throughout North America as cost-effective alternatives to prescriptive covers. Regulatory agencies typically require field testing to demonstrate the equivalency of ...

Abstract: Methane emissions were measured at several locations at a typical solid waste facility using a static chamber technique. At the entire facility, methane flux varied from

Abstract: A laboratory testing program was conducted to assess the use of foundry sands from gray iron foundries, typically called green sands, as hydraulic barrier materials. Foundry green sands are mixtures of fine uniform sand, ...

Abstract: A field study was conducted to determine if the field hydraulic conductivity of barrier layers constructed with foundry green sand is comparable to the hydraulic conductivity measured in the laboratory on laboratory-compacted ...

Abstract: A

Abstract: The use of tire-derived steel, a by-product of tire recycling, for removal of

Abstract: Effects of hydration fluid and long-term field exposure on moisture-suction relationships for three types of needlepunched geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) containing granular sodium bentonite were investigated using the ...

Abstract: The objective of this study was to characterize the leachate collected from landfills containing municipal solid waste incineration (MSW-I) ashes in the range of 20%–100% by weight. Results suggested that the conductivity ...

Abstract: The recirculation of leachate is a common strategy to accelerate the decomposition of municipal solid waste in landfills. In this study, leachates from a conventional landfill cell without supplemental liquid addition ...

Abstract: Emergency shelters are essential to protect evacuees from any threats posed by a hurricane and provide them with basic needs and assistance until it is safe to return to their homes. In a posthurricane situation, existing ...
