The research findings fill a gap in the body of knowledge by presenting an effective way to evaluate the significance of on-site environmental impacts of municipal engineering works prior to the construction stage. First, 42 on-site environmental impacts of municipal engineering works were identified by means of a process-oriented approach. Then, 46 indicators and their corresponding significan...

Municipal engineering is an important infrastructure that supports normal production and life of the city. With the development of urbanization, its characteristics of comprehensiveness and complexity emerge increasingly and its importance requires each public work to have a high standard of quality. In this paper, we studied the evaluation problems for quality evaluation of municipal engineeri...

Process engineering is applied to the design of a new I concept of a municipal incinerator. Each of seven incin· eration process areas are analyzed separately and the equivalent process in the chemical and metallurgical industries examined for proven design features applicable to incineration. Examples of integration of designs for process areas are given. Advantages of this new inciner­ ator c...

Mechanical behaviour of the waste body controls many aspects of landfill lining system design and performance, including stability issues and integrity of the geosynthetic and mineral lining components. Knowledge of the likely ranges of waste mechanical properties is required to assess potential modes of failure and hence to design the landfill engineering measures. This paper provides a summar...
