Shredded green wastes were composted in windrows, at the Harewood Whin landfill, near the city of York, in West Yorkshire, UK. Landfill leachate were added twice during the second and fourth week of the process in two piles. One pile was turned once every week for eight weeks and the other was turned twice, during the same period. Each time approximately, 2 m3 of leachate was added, into each p...

The processing of woody biomass waste piles for use as fuel instead of burning them was 11 investigated. At each landing slash pile location, a 132 kW grapple excavator was used to transfer 12 the waste piles into a 522 kW horizontal grinder. Economies of scale could be expected when 13 grinding a larger pile, although the efficiency of the loading operation might be diminished. Here, 14 three ...

this paper presents the numerical analysis of seismic soil-pile-superstructure interaction in soft clay using free-field soil analysis and beam on winkler foundation approach. this model is developed to compute the nonlinear response of single piles under seismic loads, based on one-dimensional finite element formulation. the parameters of the proposed model are calibrated by fitting the experi...

PM2.5 samples were collected from 24 trash-burning piles in Bangalore,

Electric vehicle (EV) charging load is greatly affected by many traffic factors, such as road congestion. Accurate ultra short-term forecasting (STLF) results for regional EV are important to the scheduling plan of load, which can be derived realize optimal grid benefit. In this paper, a regional-level STLF method proposed and discussed. The usage degree all piles firstly defined us based on fr...

In recent years, determining bearing capacity of piles from in-situ testing data as a complement to static and dynamic analysis has been used by geotechnical engineers. In this paper, different approaches for estimating bearing capacity of piles from SPT data are studied and compared. A new method based on N value from SPT is presented. Data averaging, &#10failure zone and plunging failure of p...

Structural foundation piles are being used increasingly as heat exchangers to provide renewable heat for new buildings. To design such energy systems a steady state is assumed within the pile, which is conventionally characterised by constant thermal resistance. However, there has been little research regarding pile resistance and there are few published case studies. Numerical modelling result...
