Use of Sediment Bulk Chemistry Data for Dredged Disposal Management in Puget Sound
Although no fully scientific approach for setting and interpreting sediment chemical levels is currently available, an effects-based approach for using bulk chemistry data was evaluated...
Oil Pollution in Suexz Gulf of the Red Sea
The population along the Red Sea coast is small, but this sea is now one of the most important areas in the world, for it is the route for ships using the Suez Canal. Many vessels transit...
Plastic Concrete Cutoff Walls
The studies revealed that plastic concrete can be prepared having a coefficient of hydraulic conductivity that is less than 1 multiplied by 10** minus **7 cm/sec. The shear strength of...
Quality Control Testing for a Sand-Bentonite Liner
This paper presents the results of the quality control testing performed during the construction of a sand-bentonite liner for a sanitary landfill site in Central Florida. The available...
Acceptance Sampling for Clay Liner Design
The assurance of the quality of constructed clay liners has been a problem for geotechnical engineers. Compliance with minimum standards is necessary to ensure the liner performance capability....
Permeability of Compacted Clay Liners in Laboratory Scale Models
Experiments conducted in flexible wall permeameters have shown that the permeability of a soil sample is dependent on the size of the specimen tested. The permeability was found to decrease...
Geotechnical Properties and Landfill Disposal of FGD Sludge
Extensive test data from more than a decade of research are compiled on the geotechnical engineering properties of flue gas desulfurization (FGD) sludges with emphasis on double alkali...
Shallow Ocean Disposal of Contaminated Dredge Material
The contaminated dredged materials from harbors and waterways along heavily populated coastal areas such as Connecticut must often be disposed at shallow ocean sites. To isolate the contaminants...
Bentonite Matting in Composite Lining Systems
The 1984 Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments to RCRA mandated that double lining systems utilizing synthetic membrane liners be required for hazardous waste landfills. Recognizing the...
Effects of Damage and Redundancy on Structural Performance
There are numerous factors involved in the interrelationship between damage states, redundancy, system strength and structural performance. This volume examines some of these factors and...
Spanning the Seas
A proposed structural scheme, called the V�tower system, could cross vast stretches of water with record length spans yet use only conventional materials. An example is a bridge proposed...
Computer Scheduling: On-Line and On-Time
The Intermountain Power Plant, a coal fired, 761 MW coal fired electrica generating facility, has been completed months ahead of schedule and substantially under budget. Project managers...
Design of Large Steam Turbine-Generator Foundations
This report is a guide for engineers who are responsible for the design and analysis of large turbine-generator foundations. A description of the various components of turbine-generator...
Pipeline Types and Design Considerations
Pipelines are extensively used to upgrade irrigation delivery facilities. The advantages of a pipeline system include an improvement in water conservation and the ability to extend water...
Estimating Average Velocity in Cobble-Bed Channels
A data set obtained from natural channels having D//5//0 less than 64 mm and d/D//5//0 in the range of 3 to 20 is used as a basis for testing equations proposed by Limerinos, Thompson...
Time Variability of Suspended Material Concentrations in Estuaries
The concentration of suspended materials (SMC) within estuarine systems varies in response to a variety of factors. This variability complicates sampling SMC and establishes particular...
