.... Accordingly, the compaction, strength, permeability and shrinkage characteristics of both pond ash–bentonite (PAB) and SB mixes are investigated at standard and modified Proctor compaction energies at various water contents to support the recommendation of the PAB mixture as an alternative landfill liner...

...Suryaleen Rout, MTech; Suresh Prasad Singh, PhD Compressibility and hydraulic conductivity are the key parameters to ensure the structural integrity of landfill liner. The compressibility and hydraulic conductivity of compacted pond ash–bentonite and sand–bentonite mixes were determined from...

... production monitoring. Furthermore, it is equipped with moisture content sensors, suction and at-rest lateral earth pressure measuring capabilities. Fresh MSW samples were collected from a metropolitan centre landfill and were used to test performance and conduct MSW mechanical behaviour analyses. Values...

... & monitoring landfills stress analysis Vibratory compaction is widely used in loose granular soils to reduce settlement or to mitigate the risk of liquefaction. During the compaction process, cyclic stresses are generated in the ground, resulting in a denser particle arrangement and changes...
