Hydraulic Conductivity Characteristics of Iron-Ore Tailings–Bentonite Mixtures Exposed to Landfill Leachate
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2023/07/01)Landfill liner materials are required to provide reliable hydraulic performance for very long times after construction, and at least for the design lifespan of the facility. To meet this objective, liner systems must retain ... -
Physicochemical and Strength Behavior in Lime-Treated Soil Submerged under Gypsum and Sodium Sulfate Contamination
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2023/04/01)The efficacy of lime treatment to improve sulfatic soils has previously been explored. The formation of ettringite (E) and thaumasite due to the reaction between lime–clay–sulfate in the presence of moisture leads to the ... -
Impact of Nonaqueous Phase Liquid on Cr(VI) Removal by Nano Zerovalent Iron Particles: Effects of Contact Time, Pollution Load, and pH
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2023/04/01)Nanoscale zerovalent iron (nZVI) was synthesized and employed for treating chromium(VI) containing aqueous solution through adsorption using a series of microcosm experiments. The experiments were then performed to study ... -
Applicability of Clay Soil Stabilized with Red Mud, Bioenzyme, and Red Mud–Bioenzyme as a Subgrade Material in Pavement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2023/04/01)The present work evaluates and compares the performance of clay soil stabilized with red mud, bioenzyme, and red mud–bioenzyme as a subgrade material in pavement construction. Finite-element simulations have been performed ... -
Construction and Demolition Waste as Valuable Resources for Geosynthetic-Encased Stone Columns
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2023/04/01)In this study, the possible utilization of mixed construction and demolition waste (CDW) is evaluated for constructing geosynthetic-encased stone columns. A detailed geotechnical characterization is presented, including ... -
Geoenvironmental Characterization of Bauxite Residue Ameliorated with Different Amendments
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2023/04/01)In bauxite residue (BR), the abatement and rebound of pH when ameliorated with different amendments have been reported as prime concerns. In addition, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, no research has focused on the ... -
Role of Biokinetic Parameters in the Methane Emission Characteristics of MBT Waste
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)Biokinetic parameters have been extensively used to decide on the treatment methodology of a waste. Although literature reports studies on biokinetic parameters in wastewater treatments, their significance in the anaerobic ... -
Radioactive Levels and Human Health Effects in a Dumpsite on Ulaanbaatar City, Mongolia
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)Most of the solid waste from Ulaanbaatar city during the cold season is ash from the partial combustion of coal. Burial of the ashes with other solid wastes has affected radioactive isotope levels in the soil. We investigated ... -
Electronic Waste Generation by Selected Students of a University in Bangladesh: A Case Study
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)The creation of electronic waste (e-waste) has increased as a result of advances in recent tools and digital technologies. Consequently, there is a need to forecast the amount of e-waste generated over a specific period ... -
Laboratory and Field Evaluation of Stabilized Fly Ash as an Alternative Material for Sustainable Pavements
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)Thermal power plants in India produce a large quantity of fly ash, which is harmful to the environment. Underutilization of fly ash and the scarcity of natural minerals have created the need for an unusual construction ... -
Ecotoxicity Assessment of Fine Fractions Obtained from Landfill Mining
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)In this study, the ecotoxicological effects posed by bulk of the material obtained from landfill mining, that is, fine fraction (<10 mm), were assessed by performing bioassays tests with the aim of using the data in ... -
Application of Alkaline Phosphatase to Assess the Health of <i>Oreochromis niloticus</i> Exposed to Organophosphates and Synthetic Pyrethroid Pesticides In Vivo
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)The most widely used pesticides for residential areas and agriculture purposes, which belong to the organophosphates and synthetic pyrethroids, were evaluated in this study for their LC0 toxicity. In an aquatic environment, ... -
Biosorption of Lead II Using <i>Foeniculum vulgare</i> in the Aqueous Phase
(ASCE, 2022/10/01)Lead in drinking water is a metabolic poison that causes mental retardation, temporary cerebral damage, and reproductive problems. Chemical precipitation, membrane technology, and ion exchange are some of the expensive and ... -
