Abstract: The current practice of curbing the ill effects associated with the open dumping of biomedical waste (BMW) solely relies on incineration. However, the incineration of BMW and plastic-based medical gear is associated with ...

Abstract: Understanding the hysteresis in the soil water characteristics of bentonites is important for predicting the hydraulic and mechanical response for many geotechnical applications. The initial drying and main wetting soil ...

Abstract: Unsaturated hydraulic characteristics of compacted smectite clays are essential in many engineering applications. The knowledge of the accurate soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) and hydraulic conductivity function ...
