Against the background of sustainable development, landfill covers can consist a range materials, from clay to geocomposite and polymer composites. Given engineering environmental requirements, we analyzed performance sustainability four sanitary cover namely clay, HDPE, PVC, GCL. Within principles environmentally design, constructed material selection index based on as well economic impacts ma...

Geosynthetics are planar polymeric products, which are used in connection with soil, rock or other soil-like materials to fulfill various functions in geoenvironmental engineering. Geosynthetics are of ever-growing importance in the construction industry. Sealing of waste storage facilities to safely prevent the emission of wastewater, landfill gas and contaminated dust as well as the diffusion...

In this paper, to investigate the impact of environmental loadings on short-term and creep mechanical characteristics different types clayey soil-Geocomposite Drainage Layers (GDL) interfaces, a series rapid loading shear tests were conducted Mercia Mudstone Clay-GDL interfaces Kaolin subjected drying-wetting cycles, thermal cycles elevated temperature, etc, using bespoke temperature stress-con...

In this study, the effects of multiscale conductive carbon fillers, including nanotubes (CNTs), graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs), and fibres (CFs), on mechanical microstructural properties, durability, piezoresistivity cementitious stabilised sand (CSS) were investigated. route, surface CFs was modified via an oxidation process to improve their interfacial performance dispersion. An optimum amount...

Abstract Peak shear strength of soil-Geocomposite Drain Layer (GDL) interfaces is an important parameter in the designing and operating related engineering structures. In this paper, a database compiled from 316 large direct tests on soil-GDL has been established. Based database, five different machine learning models: Back Propagation Artificial Neural Network (BPANN) Support Vector Machine (S...
