Field Performance of Geotextile Reinforced Sludge Caps
Geosynthetic reinforced capping of highwater content waste materials is becoming an efficient and economic way of dealing with the confinement of the contaminants. To define the filtration performance of sludge-geotextile systems and investigate their durability, ten sludge lagoon test cells were constructed using of a lightweight fill, i.e. a wood chip/soil mixture over different geotextiles. ...
متن کاملEffectiveness and Limitation of Coastal Dykes in Jakarta: The Need for Prioritizing Actions against Land Subsidence
Jakarta has been experiencing severe land subsidence over the last few decades. A questionnaire survey of local inhabitants revealed that seawater is already overtopping coastal dykes and flooding a vulnerable community along Jakarta’s waterfront. The present study projects coastal floods around Jakarta until the year 2050 to understand the long term effectiveness of proposed dykes under contin...
متن کاملCoastal mangrove forests mitigated tsunami
A study conducted after the 26th of December 2004 tsunami in 18 coastal hamlets along the south-east coast of India reiterates the importance of coastal mangrove vegetations and location characteristics of human inhabitation to protect lives and wealth from the fury of tsunami. The tsunami caused human death and loss of wealth and these decreased with the area of coastal vegetation, distance an...
متن کاملResponse of Coastal Structures against Earthquake Forces Considering Soil-Structure Interaction and Tsunami Run-Up Forces
The catastrophic tsunamis generated by the great Indonesia earthquake triggered on December 26 th , 2004, warned the coastal community on preparedness and constructing safe structures to resist against such events. Earthquake occurs suddenly without warning and bulk of destruction takes place within a short period of time. Similarly, when tsunami strikes, there will be a tremendous loss and dam...
متن کاملResistance of a nonwoven geotextile against mechanical damage and abrasion
The installation procedures (which induce mechanical damage) and abrasion can cause unwanted changes on the properties of the geotextiles. In this work, a nonwoven polypropylene geotextile was subjected to three degradation tests: (1) mechanical damage, (2) abrasion and (3) mechanical damage followed by abrasion (successive exposure). The damage caused by the degradation tests was evaluated by ...
