Assessment of Leachate Characteristics and Geotechnical Properties of Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
(2018-01-04)Solid Waste Management is one of the essential services provided by local bodies to keep the urban areas clean. Often it is poorly rendered as it is unscientific, out-dated and inefficient. With the rapid increase in ... -
Characterization and Assessment of Organically Modified Clays for Geo Environmental Applications
(2018-04-11)Clays are used for long for the control of soil and water pollution as they are inexpensive natural materials with a high adsorption capacity for a wide range of pollutants. However their use as components in engineered ... -
Class-F Fly Ash and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) Mixtures for Enhanced Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Applications
(2018-01-11)Fly ash and blast furnace slag are the two major industrial solid by-products generated in most countries including India. Although their utilization rate has increased in the recent years, still huge quantities of these ... -
Enhancing The Potential Of Class F Fly Ashes For Geotechnical And Geoenvironmental Applications
(2013-07-19)Thermal power station in most countries is saddled with the problem of fly ash disposal and unless suitable avenues are found for its proper use, this would pose a gigantic problem to the power sector. Disposal of huge ... -
Factors Controlling the Dispersivity of Soils and the Role of Zeta Potential
(2017-12-07)Most soil particles loses cohesion and split up the soil mass into individual soil grains when they come in contact with water and get saturated. In dispersive soils the particles detach more spontaneously from each other ... -
Geotechnical Behaviour Of Soil Containing Mixed Layered Illite-Smectite Contaminated With Caustic Alkali
(2008-01-29)The aim of the thesis has been to evaluate and understand the effect of caustic alkali solution of varying composition on the behaviour of expansive soil containing mixed layered minerals. Mixed layered minerals are formed ... -
Mechanism And Control Of Sulphuric Acid Induced Heave in Soils
(2010-07-12)The escalating pollution of the environment has been one of the greatest concerns of science in recent years. Industrial advances in agriculture, expansion of chemical industries and a general change in lifestyle all over ... -
Modeling Of Contaminant Transport Through Soils And Landfill Liners
(2013-04-26)Accurate modeling of contaminant transport and sorption processes in the soil and landfill liners is a prerequisite for realistic model simulations of contaminant fate and transport in the environment. These studies are ... -
Remedial Measures For Alkali Induced Heave In Soils
(2010-07-15)Sub-surface soil pollution by various processes with high concentration of contaminants can significantly alter geotechnical properties of soils causing unexpected failures of structures founded on them. The changes can ... -
Role of Composition, Structure and Physico-Chemical Environment on Stabilisation of Kuttanad Soil
(2018-04-12)Soft soil deposits of coastal regions and lowland areas pose many geotechnical problems but it is indispensable to utilize these grounds to meet the growing demand for infrastructure with ever increasing urbanization and ... -
Role of Gypsum in Stabilisation of Expansive Soil with Lime/Fly Ash-A Micro-Mechanistic Study
Stabilization of expansive soils with various calcium–based stabilizers (lime and cement) directly or in combinations with other solid waste materials such as fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) etc. ... -
Studies on The Transport Rates of Heavy Metals in the Design of Liner Thickness and Remediation of Soils
(2018-01-01)The enormous rate of increase in waste generation across the world is a serious threat to the future generation, if not handled properly, due to the creation of health hazards and global warming. This was awakened many ...
