Characteristics Of Fresh Municipal Solid Waste
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2010-07-19)
The characteristics of fresh municipal solid waste (MSW) are critical in planning, designing, operating or upgrading solid waste management systems. Physical composition, moisture content, compacted unit weight, permeability ...
Effect Of Leachate Recirculation On Methane Generation Of A Bioreactor Landfill
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2010-11-01)
Municipal solid waste (MSW) disposal is of current concern due to the green-house effect and rising temperature all around the globe. Landfill gas is generated from aerobic & anaerobic biodegradation of organic materials ...
Investigation Of The Lower Bound Compressive And Flexural Strengths Of Conventional Concrete And Clay Masonry
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2010-07-19)
Conventional masonry is a handcrafted product in which units are placed by hand in a mortar bedding that is prepared during construction. TMS 402 Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures (also referred to by the ...
Use Of Electrical Resistivity And Multichannel Analysis Of Surface Wave Geophysical Tomography In Geotechnical Site Characterization Of Dam
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2010-03-03)
Performance of geotechnical site characterization is a primary function of geotechnical engineers. Generalizations required to extrapolate conventional geotechnical boring data can limit the effectiveness of site assessments. ...

Long Term Durability Studies On Chemically Treated Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) Materials
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2010-03-03)
Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) is a well known construction material which has been used in Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) to reduce material costs and stabilizing the pavements for several years. It has been reported that out ...
Theoretical Feasibility Study For A Conceptual Approach To Trenchless Replacement Of Culverts
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2010-03-03)
Culvert damage and collapses and their renewal alternatives are a raising concern in today's infrastructure topics. In most cases damages are irreversible; however, in many cases opportunities exist to correct and renew. ...
Durability Studies On Stabilization Effectiveness Of Soils Containing Different Fractions Of Montmorillonite
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2010-03-03)
Stabilization of clays with additives like lime and cement has been practiced for several years and worked well in improving the subgrades. Though this practice is used widely, there were cases where the treated subgrades ...
