Evaluation of Compacted Inert Paper Solids as a Cover Material
The following paper presents the results of a laboratory test program which focused on compacted sludges or inert paper solids (IPS) as recommended cover (cap) material over existing IPS...
The Use of Cone Penetration Testing for Evaluation of Waste Disposal Alternatives
Geotechnical information derived from cone penetration testing (CPT) has been found to give increased accuracy in the siting of waste disposal facilities and in the design of remedial...
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...
Quality Assurance Monitoring of a Large Clay Liner
The Keele Valley Landfill at Maple, Ontario, consists of a 99 ha (245 acre) facility to serve the Metropolitan Toronto area. The landfill is located in a former sand and gravel pit, with...
Seismic Analysis of Safety-Related Nuclear Structures and Commentary on Standard for Seismic Analysis of Safety Related Nuclear Structures
This standard provides requirements for performing analyses to obtain design information which will lead to the reliability of structures under a severe earthquake. The goal of this standard...
Engineering Aspects of Soil Erosion, Dispersive Clays and Loess
This collection of papers deals with selected engineering aspects of soil erosion, dispersive clays and loess. Two types of erosion are considered?surface and subsurface (piping)?with...
Dynamic Response of Pile Foundations?Experiment, Analysis and Observation
In recent years, a considerable amount of attention has been paid to the dynamic response behavior of pile foundations. However, mainly because of difficulties in conducting tests and/or...
Detection, Control, and Renovation of Contaminated Ground Water
The papers in this book provide technical guidance to engineers regarding the problems, solutions, and uncertainties associated with groundwater contamination in the United States. The...
A Safer Earthquake Design Approach
The Uniform Building Code earthquake code permits taking advantage of a frame's capacity to absorb energy at stresses beyond yield. Dropping that provision would save lives....
The National Incinerator Testing & Evaluation Program
Environment Canada, under the National Incinerator Testing & Evaluation Program (NITEP), is addressing emissions from municipal energy-from-waste combustion systems. The main thrust...
Experiments on Culvert Flow
Laboratory experiments are described which were performed on small-scale models of smooth circular culverts of length-to-diameter ratio varying between 13 and 52, and longitudinal downward...
Hydraulic Structures on Piles
Many hydraulic structures built in the early 1900's were founded on piles. Today, when these structures are analyzed as 'pile-supported', the analyses...
A Comparison of Tidal Sediment Boundary Layer Profiles with Theory
A number of theoretical derivations have been presented for predictions of the sediment concentration profile near or at the bottom of a column of surface water. Ultrasonic transceivers...
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...
Laboratory Study of Mud Flows
In the study reported depth profiles and tip velocities were measured for a series of unsteady mud flows generated in a laboratory flume using a dam break scenario. Observation of a wide...
Rehabilitation Measures?Wanaque Reservoir System
The rehabilitation of Pompton Lake Dam and the dams of the Wanaque Reservoir System has provided the North Jersey District Water Supply Commission with a safe, dependable source of water...
Flow Around Islands in Rupert Bay: An Investigation of the Bed Friction Effect
Aerial photographs of transverse shear flows around islands in Rupert Bay, a shallow and turbid estuary in northern Quebec, were studied for effect of bed friction. The island wake depends...
Consolidation of Slurried Soils
This paper describes the use of large strain consolidation theory and centrifugal modelling to study the consolidation behavior of slurries. Laboratory testing of the slurry is needed...
Techniques for Measuring Flow and Sediment Parameters Near the Bed in Estuaries
The collection of accurate and meaningful field data is often the key to successful description and prediction of natural processes. The U. S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station...
