Solid waste landfills serve as municipal waste containment facilities. Presently, landfills are required to accommodate as much volume of waste as possible while isolating the waste from surrounding air, soil and ground water. With the intention to provide sufficient space for the increasing waste volumes, modified landfill designs have been implemented which incorporate designs with steep side slopes. Although the National Norms and Standards for Disposal of Waste to Landfill provide the minimum requirements and state that alternative design layouts for landfill slopes exceeding 1H:4V may be…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
Solid waste landfills serve as municipal waste containment facilities. Presently, landfills are required to accommodate as much volume of waste as possible while isolating the waste from surrounding air, soil and ground water. With the intention to provide sufficient space for the increasing waste volumes, modified landfill designs have been implemented which incorporate designs with steep side slopes. Although the National Norms and Standards for Disposal of Waste to Landfill provide the minimum requirements and state that alternative design layouts for landfill slopes exceeding 1H:4V may be considered, the new implementation could increase the risk of landfill instability (Department of Environmental Affairs, 2013a; Emery, 2014). Research has shown that instability problems may be associated with shear failure (Russell, et al., 1998; Kim, 2006; Feng, et al., 2010; Duffy, 2016). In such cases, the safety of these containment facilities depends on the shear strength properties ofthe landfill boundary conditions and construction materials. As a result, proper understanding of shear strength parameters is essential in ensuring safe designs.
Autorenporträt
Professor Mahima, for your Astronomy course, I propose "Stars to Self: Chemical Cosmos." This book weaves a captivating story, connecting the vastness of the cosmos with the very building blocks of life. We'll delve into stellar nucleosynthesis, where stars forge the elements that make up our planet and even ourselves. Imagine ¿ the stardust that exploded from supernovae billions of years ago is now part of us! "Stars to Self" doesn't stop there. We'll bridge the gap between cosmic and biological chemistry, analyzing how these elements form the foundation of life on Earth. Through this journey, you'll gain a profound appreciation for the interconnectedness of the universe. The book dives deeper, exploring concepts like the fine-tuning of the cosmos for life and the anthropic principle, igniting curiosity about whether we're alone. "Stars to Self" is a valuable resource for anyone fascinated by our place in the universe, the awe-inspiring connection between the stars and ourselves, and the remarkable story of the chemical cosmos.
