RISModification to Translational Failure Analysis of Landfills Incorporating Seismicity
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper extends a previously developed method of the writers by using a pseudostatic approach to conduct seismic stability analysis for potential translational failures of multilayer lined landfills. Assuming that the ...
Closure to “Modification to Translational Failure Analysis of Landfills Incorporating Seismicity” by Xuede Qian and Robert M. Koerner
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Stability Analysis When Using an Engineered Berm to Increase Landfill Space
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The scope of this paper is to develop a new three-part wedge method to analyze translational failure when using an engineered berm to increase landfill space. The possible failure face may pass over the back slope of the ...
Effect of Apparent Cohesion on Translational Failure Analyses of Landfills
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The scope of this paper is to develop a new analysis method introducing the effect of apparent cohesion of the waste and/or liner materials on the translational failure of landfills. The apparent cohesion of the liner ...
Biodegradation Behavior of Municipal Solid Waste with Liquid Aspects: Experiment and Verification
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A specially designed, large-scale municipal solid waste (MSW) settlement apparatus was used to conduct experiments in this study. The suction for unsaturated waste in different layers also was measured. The test results ...
Analytical Modeling to Simulate Gas Production for Various Tested Landfill Cells
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The gas extraction wells installed in landfills are used to control gas emission. The degradation of municipal solid waste (MSW) is the main influencing factor for gas production and migration. The symmetric equation of ...
Translational Failure Analysis of Landfills
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The scope of this paper is to develop a new approach to the two-part wedge method for translational failure analysis of landfills. The upper and lower bound solutions for the landfill stability, i.e.,
Estimation of Maximum Liquid Head over Landfill Barriers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To properly design a drainage layer for either landfill leachate collection systems or final covers, the designer must be able to estimate the maximum liquid head over the barrier for any proposed configuration. This paper ...
Exploring Cementitious Additives for Pretreatment of High-Early-Strength Sewage Sludge from the Perspective of the Rapid Generation of Nonevaporable Water
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Currently, solidification/stabilization (S/S) is the most widely used pretreatment measure for sewage sludge prior to its disposal in landfills in China. Looking for an effective measure to increase the early strength of ...
Voids and Granulometry: Effects on Shear Modulus of Unsaturated Sands
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes the results of an experimental investigation of capillary effects on the low strain shear modulus of sands in a partially saturated condition. It studies: (1) Void ratio; (2) confining pressure; (3) ...
