Glossary Term
What is mechanical soil stabilization? Mechanical stabilization of the soil has been accepted as part of civil engineering soil improvement works in construction to meet the requirements. It increases the soil’s shear strength, durability, and load-carrying capacity to meet different structural demands. Therefore, mechanical stabilization supports the soil material to provide a safe foundation for… Continue reading Mechanical soil stabilization
What is leachate? Leachate is a form of pollution that results from the interaction of water with solid waste materials; normally, it is found in municipal landfills. This liquid results from physical, chemical, or biological transformations that occur during disposal through contact with waste materials with water or other fluids. Leachate, often toxic and hazardous… Continue reading Leachate
What is a landfill? A landfill is an engineered site designed for the safe disposal of waste materials, preventing environmental contamination. Landfills manage both non-hazardous and hazardous waste, with specific measures to contain and neutralize hazardous substances over time. The uses of landfills are diverse and critical. These are used for managing residential, commercial, and… Continue reading Landfill expansion
What is landfill capping? Landfill capping is a process of placing a protective cover over a landfill once it has reached the end of its operational life. Alternate terms used for landfill capping is closure capping or final capping. The main purpose of landfill capping is to set apart and contain the waste within the… Continue reading Landfill capping
The importance of geosynthetics installation Effective geosynthetic installation is the systematic and careful process of deploying geosynthetic materials in civil engineering projects.
