Waste Utilization in Geotechnical Practice
About this book
The book provides a comprehensive overview of how the innovative use of waste materials not only addresses environmental challenges but also provides sustainable, cost-effective solutions for construction, making it an essential resource for professionals in the field.
Waste pollutes ground resources and sub-surface water if disposed of without proper treatment, which requires large areas. This waste can be utilized as a sustainable alternative to conventional construction materials. Environmental scientists and geotechnical engineers are increasingly challenged to solve environmental problems related to waste disposal facilities and the cleanup of contaminated sites. This book explores how various types of waste materials can be effectively used in geotechnical construction projects related to soil and foundation.
The volume covers properties of different waste materials, methods for testing and characterizing them, potential environmental impacts of using waste materials in geotechnical projects, and the design considerations and techniques for incorporating those waste materials into geotechnical structures. The economic and regulatory aspects of waste utilization in geotechnical practice, including the potential cost savings and the protocols governing the use of waste materials in construction projects, are discussed. The book serves as an informative and practical guide to land-based waste disposal and its potential applications in soil improvement.
Audience
Researchers, civil engineers, students and policymakers working in geotechnical engineering, civil engineering, environmental science, and waste management.
