Earthen Liners for Land Disposal Facilities
Proper construction of compacted earthen liners requires special attention to construction details and quality assurance. Moisture content and weight of roller are probably the two most...

Design and Performance of Earth-Lined Containment Systems
Engineers have been designing and constructing earthen containment structures for many tens of years. These structures have historically been embankment dams, petroleum storage impoundments,...

Containment of Low-Level Radioactive Material
The U. S. Department of Energy has completed a short term storage site for the containment of low-level radioactive residues and contaminated soil near Lewiston, New York. The site, known...

Environmental Geotechnology & Tailings Reclamation
The Department of Energy is responsible, in terms of Federal Legislation, for remedial action work at 24 inactive uranium mill tailings piles in ten states. This paper describes the setting...

Field Measurements of Landfill Surface Settlements
The Collier Road Landfill, located in southeast Michigan, has been accepting industrial and muncipal solid waste since the late 1960's. This existing landfill encompasses...

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...

Test Fill for a Double Liner System
A double liner system is required in hazardous waste disposal facilities to satisfy the current Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and State of Michigan Act 64 Requirements. To meet...

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....

Influential Factors in Soil Liner Construction for Waste Disposal Facilities
Those factors most influential in the construction of a soil liner to meet a permeability performance standard of 1 multiplied by 10-7 centimeters per second (cm/sec) are identified and...

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...

Soil Improvement
A Ten Year Update
Since the publication of Soil Improvement?History, Capabilities and Outlook after the Annual ASCE convention in Philadelphia in 1976, a dramatic growth in certain soil improvement techniques...

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...
