The impermeable properties of flexible membrane liners have made them hot properties for landfill closure-cover systems. But slip-resistant clay might still be the best cover material...
Jet Grouting Gains
Jet grouting, a soil stabilization technology developed in Europe, was introduced in the U.S. in the early 1980s. Due, in part, to the use of inappropriate equipment, jet grouting got...
Short Aggregate Piers Defeat Poor Soils
A short aggregate pier system, developed to provide an economical alternative to the overexcavation/replacement technique, has been used used since 1988 to control settlement of structures...
DSM Saves the Dam
The Miami Conservancy District built five flood control dams after the catastrophic flood of 1913 in Dayton, Ohio. Lockington Dam was one of these five hydraulic fill structures. The Ohio...
