Consolidation Characteristics of Sand–Bentonite Mixtures and the Influence of Sand Particle Size
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Hydromechanical characteristics of sand–bentonite mixtures, which are generally used as geotechnical barriers, are a well-documented research interest. Because bentonite is a relatively costly material, most of the research ... -
Experimental Investigation of Shear Strength Behaviors of Stone Dust–EPS Geofoam Interface
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The stone crushing industry has doubled in size in India in the last decade because aggregate has been the most useful raw material for various structures. However, during crushing of stone aggregates in quarries, huge ... -
Radiochemical Analysis of Milk Samples and Dose Exposures for Adults, Children, and Infants
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The natural gross radioactivity in milk from farms in different locations in Van and in milk purchased from Kahramanmaraş markets were determined. In the milk samples, natural gross alpha and beta activity concentrations ... -
Mass Balance of Heavy Metals of Fly Ash in Soil and Crops
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In India, coal-based thermal power stations presently share approximately 7% of the total power demand and generate 184 million tons of ash per annum, and this amount is expected to surpass 44 million tons per ... -
Adsorption of Ni2+ from Aqueous Solution by Functionalized Coal Particles with Dithiocarbamate
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Shenfu coal particles with a mean diameter of 71.55 μm were modified to contain functional surface groups by chemically grafting dithiocarbamate (DTC) onto the coal particles using γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane as a coupler. ... -
Use of Gray Relational Analysis to Manage and Optimize Full-Scale Industrial Furnace Operation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In the context of waste gas energy recovery and management, the gray relational analysis method is applied to construct the optimum parameters and management of the operation conditions for a heating furnace used in the ... -
Investigation of Hazard Potential of Oil Industry Wastes and Products for Better Management Practices
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), metal, and chlorine contents of samples—including waste mineral oil, engine oil, edible oil, oily waste (industrial/domestic), and number 1 lube (NTL)—were investigated to evaluate possible ... -
Dispersion and Sedimentation Characteristics of Red Mud
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Red mud is the bauxite residue generated from aluminum industries, and due to its low utilization rate, a large volume of red mud in slurry form is stored. The high alkalinity (pH>11) favors leachate and hinders the ... -
Strategic Policy Modeling for Stewardship Program of Spent Portable Batteries
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This study identified the environmental policy instruments for a program on environment, health, and safety (EHS) that could impose certain penalties on stakeholders for the improper disposal of spent portable batteries. ... -
Water Crisis: Bank Filtration and Aquifer Storage Recharge Systems as Possible Alternatives
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Riverbank filtration (RBF) is a simple yet effective treatment technology that uses the natural soil and aquifer media to remove various pollutants from river water during induced infiltration of river water to pumping ... -
Impact of Climate Change on Runoff Generation in the Upper Godavari River Basin, India
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The probable impacts of climate change on water resources are of great concern to hydrologists, water managers, and policymakers. The impact of climate change on hydrological variables in the upper Godavari River basin has ... -
Marble Sludge Recycling by Using Geopolymerization Technology
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The purpose of this study was to investigate the recycling potential of marble sludge, which is generated from the cutting and grinding of marble. Geopolymerization technology was applied to this aim. Waste marble sludge ... -
Residual Radioactive Isotope Effects on the Flushing Water during the Decommissioning Period of Heavy-Ion Treatment Facilities: Dependence of Concrete Models
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Three different concrete models were chosen to calculate contamination of flushing water from concrete wastes of a heavy-ion accelerator facility after 5 years of operation (with 7.2×115 carbon ions/year) and one ... -
Hydrocarbon Removal in Oil-Contaminated Soil Using In-Vessel Composting with Yard Waste and Rumen Waste
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This study aimed to determine hydrocarbon removal in oil-contaminated soil using composting with an amendment of yard waste and rumen waste. Hydrocarbon-contaminated soil samples from a public oil-mining field in Wonocolo ... -
Numerical and Experimental Analysis of the Heating Performance of a Microwave Applicator Loaded with Sludge Material
