The Return of Deep Soil Mixing
Deep soil mixing, a technique originally developed in the U.S. in the 1970s but virtually ignored because for cost reasons, is regaining acceptance here due in large part to mechanical...
Residual Benefits
Stringent pretreatment and effluent standards and a lack of capacity prohibit their release into sanitary sewer systems. Landfill disposal is costly. The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination...
Touchdown for O-Cell Test
The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum was badly damaged by the Northridge earthquake. There was seven months to complete 3 years of work to be ready in time for football season. The project...
Soft Ground Not Easy Ground for TBM

Flexible Membrane Liners
Unless there is a long-range plan for the postclosure use of a landfill--such as turning it into a golf course or a park--final grades are usually designed to be as high and as steep as...
Bioremediation Comes of Age
Only five years ago engineers and scientists met with EPA officials to weigh the merits of bioremediation as a hazwaste cleanup tool. Now bioremediation has become an accepted effective...
