Abstract: Mean monthly and annual values of total precipitable water are compared with mean monthly and annual values of surface dew point for each 5° latitude circle from the equator to 85°S. The correlation coefficients are lower ...

Abstract: In the present study, the centrifuge modeling approach was utilized to investigate the efficacy of dual-functional hybrid geosynthetics as reinforcement in alleviating the destabilizing effects of rainfall on geosyntheti ...

Abstract: A numerical simulation of centrifuge model tests was carried out to develop an understanding of the behavior of geogrid-reinforced soil barriers (GRSBs) of landfill covers subjected to differential settlement. The influence ...

Abstract: The top-of-the-atmosphere net radiation is determined over the Ducke Reserve Forest site, Manaus, Brazil (2°57 S, 59°57 W), from GOES-7 visible and infrared data during the 1987 wet season (April?May), for 0900 and 1500 ...

Abstract: An experimental program was conducted to investigate the influence of geogrid as a reinforcement layer within the soil barrier of a landfill cover system under various levels of distortion. Centrifuge model tests were ...

Abstract: Imperviousness of clay liners is essential in landfills in order to safeguard the environment from contamination. To accomplish this task, the behavior of clay liner of landfills with and without reinforcement inclusion ...

Abstract: The objective of this study is to estimate dynamic compaction (DC) induced settlement of municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills using numerical modeling. Finite element (FE) based analysis is carried out and the corresponding ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to evaluate the deformation behavior of clay-based landfill covers subjected to differential settlements through centrifuge model studies and finite-element analyses (FEA). A series of ...

Abstract: The objective of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of dynamic compaction (DC) on sandy soils with shallow groundwater table in a geotechnical centrifuge. A total of five model tests were conducted on two ...

Abstract: In the present study, the centrifuge modeling approach was utilized to investigate the efficacy of dual-functional hybrid geosynthetics as reinforcement in alleviating the destabilizing effects of rainfall on geosyntheti ...
