A large number and growing proportion of both single lot residential and larger scale new developments in the Hunter Region are not serviced by a conventional reticulated sewerage system. In such cases, wastewater treatment, its possible reuse and final disposal, is on-site, where the effluent is generated. A range of geotechnical factors including the site geology, geomorphology, soils, availa...

when geotechnical engineers are faced with cohesive clayey soils, the engineering properties of those soils may need to be improved to make them suitable for construction. the aim of this paper is to study the effect of using lime, natural pozzolana or a combination of both on the geotechnical characteristics of two cohesive soils. lime or natural pozzolana were added to these soils at ranges o...

Spatial planning aims at constantly improving the distribution of people and activities within available space, especially near cities on ancient agricultural or industrial areas. However, a proper schedule development work necessitates assessment, as precisely possible, difficulties that would be encountered in terms geotechnical abilities terrain hazards resulting from previous use. In Grands...

geotechnical investigations of waste fills are rarely undertaken, and consequently the geotechnical community has little knowledge of their engineering properties. in this study, a geotechnical testing program was conducted to evaluate the engineering properties of old municipal solid waste sampled in whamyung msw landfill site, busan, korea. the conducted tests included water content, specific...
