Characterization, Containment, Remediation, and Performance in Environmental Geotechnics
The impact of rapid industrialization around the globe and unsafe waste management practices have become increasingly significant within the last two decades as the disclosed number of...
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...

Static and Dynamic Properties of Gravelly Soils
The behavior of gravelly soils has been the focus of much research in recent years. Large-scale penetration and triaxial tests, shear-wave velocity measurements, insitu freezing and sampling,...
Waste Containment Facilities
This book presents a comprehensive description of recommended procedures for construction quality assurance (CQA) and control (CQC) for waste containment facilities. Chapter 1 describes...
Designing for the First Flush
This article explains some of the details involved in separating the first flush of a storm event from the remainder of the storm. It also explains how to provide primary treatment of...
JSC-1: A New Lunar Soil Simulant
A new lunar soil simulant, JSC-1, has been developed and characterized under the auspices of the NASA Johnson Space Center. This simulant was produced in large quantities to satisfy the...
A Simple Method of Producing Lunar Soil Simulants for Engineering Studies
This paper suggests that it is possible to obtain large quantities of simulated lunar regolith that can be used for feasibility studies of lunar base construction and excavation machinery...
Reservoir Estimates for the Sulpicius Gallus Region
Estimates presented here show that 1.1?109 metric tons of oxygen could of produced from one of the enriched areas that have been detected by spectrographic...
Utilization of Liquid Carbon Dioxide for Planetary Exploration
The major component of the atmosphere of Venus and Mars is carbon dioxide CO2. This proposal is to use this carbon dioxide for planetary exploration...
Lunar ISRU: An Evolutionary Approach
