Abstract: Approximate closed form solutions are developed for estimating the mechanical and decomposition settlement of landfills. The mechanical settlements are the immediate (primary) settlement and long term creep. The decomposition ...

Abstract: This paper presents a case history of the foundations for seven bridges supported on spread footings bearing on overconsolidated clay. Conventional methods of analysis were used to estimate the elastic and consolidation ...

Abstract: This case history pertains to three horizontal directional drilling bores that were advanced under streams and are in close proximity to or beneath three bridges. During construction, optical surveys were performed to ...

Abstract: A review is made of the hydraulic conductivity and other hydraulic parameters of municipal waste. The hydraulic conductivity can be assessed indirectly from measured field parameters and water balance. A test well penetrating ...
