Geosynthetics in geoenvironmental engineering
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...
متن کاملAdvances and Remaining Challenges for Geosynthetics in Geoenvironmental Engineering Applications
Nine issues of importance to the use of geomembranes (GMs) and geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) as part of composite liners in geoenvironmental applications are examined. These issues include the effect of: GCL-leachate compatibility on hydraulic conductivity; freeze-thaw on GCL performance; internal erosion on GCL hydraulic conductivity; temperature on advection and diffusion as well as desicca...
متن کاملSoftware Engineering applied to Manufacturing Problems
Optimization approaches have traditionally been viewed as tools for solving manufacturing problems, the optimization approach is not suitable for many problems arising in modern manufacturing systems due to their complexity and involvement of qualitative factors. In this paper we use a tool of software engineering applied to manufacturing problems. We use the Heuristics Lab software to determin...
متن کاملAn Overview of Genetic Algorithms Applied to Control Engineering Problems
Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are the most widely known evolutionary search algorithms. While they are regularly applied to control engineering problems, currently they are not a standard tool in the control engineer’s toolbox. This may in part be the result of the fact that few general overview of the application of GAs to control engineering problems yet exists, and the fact that they are usually ...
متن کاملUse of parallel computing and visualisation techniques in the simulation of large scale geoenvironmental engineering problems
This paper discusses some of the computational and visualisation challenges encountered in the field of geoenvironmental engineering. The use of iterative solvers and parallel computation methods are identified as being of particular relevance to addressing the computation challenges. 3D stereoscopic visualisation is discussed in relation to data analysis and communication. An example analysis ...
