Abstract: Experiments were conducted to evaluate the hydraulic conductivity of geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) containing granular sodium bentonite that were permeated with coal combustion product (CCP) leachates. Chemical properties ...

Abstract: Tests were conducted on eight soils to determine how coal combustion product (CCP) leachates may affect the hydraulic conductivity of compacted soil liners (CSLs) used for CCP disposal facilities. The soils represent a ...

Abstract: Abstract Accurate prediction of shoaling rates and dredge volumes is critical for optimizing the USACE’s navigation channel maintenance strategies and controlling dredging costs. Existing methodologies—such as traditional ...

Abstract: Enhancing spray cooling with surface structures is a common, effective approach for high heat flux thermal management to guarantee the reliability of many high-power, high-speed electronics and to improve the efficiency ...

Abstract: Abstract The USACE traditionally uses regular exam, before dredge, and after dredge hydrographic surveys and/or survey volume reports to estimate needed dredge material volume(s) to return federal navigation channels to ...
