CHARACTERIZATION OF MSW AND PLASTIC WASTE VOLUME ESTIMATION DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Aurpa, Sehneela Sara (2021-05-05)COVID-19 has appeared and shook all aspects of our life. Starting from panic buying prior lockdown to the availability of vaccine, the whole world has gone through a pandemic situation which bounded people to live a life ... -
DEVELOPING AN EARLY WARNING SYSTEM OF HIGHWAY SLOPE FAILURE BASED ON IN-SITU HYDRAULIC CONDUCTIVITY OF SOIL
Gupta, Alinda (2023-08-15)Highway slope failure is globally a momentous issue. Highway slope failure poses a significant issue in transportation infrastructure. Several factors can contribute to slope failures, including geological conditions, ... -
Effect of Impurities in Plastic Waste on the Performance of Plastic road
Gupta, Niloy (2023-08-17)**Please note that the full text is embargoed until 08/01/2025** Plastic waste generation has become a global concern, with a large portion of plastics ending up in landfills. China's recent decision to stop importing waste ... -
EFFECT OF MODIFIED MOISTURE BARRIER IN MITIGATING PAVEMENT DISTRESSES DUE TO EXPANSIVE SUBGRADE
Pandey, Pratibha; 0000-0001-8908-1326 (2021-05-07)Surficial distresses in roadways of Texas are very common due to presence of high plastic clayey soil in the subgrade. Increased sensitivity of high plastic clay towards seasonal moisture change results in repeated swelling ... -
EFFECT OF SLUDGE CONTENT ON DIFFERENT TYPES OF FOOD WASTE DEGRADATION IN ANAEROBIC DIGESTER
Latif, Mumtahina Binte (2021-05-09)Food waste (FW) is the second-largest component in landfills which impacts environments adversely by generating excessive leachate and greenhouse gas. Generally, conventional anaerobic digester and composting can be used ... -
Evaluation and Prediction of Energy Potential of Landfill Mined Solid Waste
Ahmed, Rakib (2019-08-12)Landfilling is the most popular waste disposal system worldwide; however, with increasing scarcity of materials, increases in land values, and the presence of non-engineered landfill sites in both the developing and developed ... -
EVALUATION OF RECYCLED PLASTIC PINS AS SHEAR KEYS IN MSE WALL BASE
Bhandari, Prabesh; 0000-0002-7696-4717 (2021-05-06)Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) walls have been widely used as retaining structures due to their flexible nature, a better tolerance against differential settlement, and many other factors. However, external stability ... -
EVALUATION OF RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SULFATE CONTENT AND ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY
Ahmed, Zobair (2022-12-19)Texas soils typically have sulfate content due to certain geologic formation types. Soil sulfate needs to be identified and quantified to minimize damage to infrastructure caused by sulfate-induced heave. Electrical ... -
OPTIMIZATION AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF HOUSEHOLD ANAEROBIC DIGESTER
Mahjabin, Sabrina (2022-12-19)Globally, one-third of food produced for human consumption is wasted. The waste stream of developing countries constitutes a substantial amount of food waste. In addition to contributing to greenhouse gas emissions, food ... -
PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF RECYCLED PLASTIC PINS IN TWO LAYERS TO STABILIZE DEEP SLOPE FAILURES
Madanayake, Sachini; 0000-0003-0540-4840 (2022-12-09)Slope failures are a common occurrence in highway embankments throughout Texas due to the presence of high plastic clays with expansive behavior. Although shallow slope failures are prevalent, slope failures extending ... -
PERFORMANCE OF RECYCLED PLASTIC PINS FOR INCREASING BEARING CAPACITY OF FOUNDATION SOIL
Badhon, Faria Fahim; 0000-0002-1420-582X (2021-08-10)Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) walls constructed on unsuitable foundation soil are prone to large deformation and bearing capacity failure. A variety of techniques can be applied to address this issue, such as removal ... -
RAINFALL-INDUCED SLOPE FAILURE – AN EARLY WARNING SYSTEM
Islam, Md Aminul; 0000-0001-9152-9556 (2021-12-16)Globally, slope failures cause substantial death tolls and economic loss. Embankments constructed on high plasticity clay are vulnerable to cyclic swelling and shrinkage when subjected to climate. Thus, over time, soil ... -
Reuse of Recycled Plastic for Subgrade Treatment
Tasnim, Jerin (2022-12-19)Disposal of solid waste becomes a global issue due to it contains a large amount of non- degradable polymers and may lead to many environmental issues. With the scarcity of space for landfilling and due to ever increasing ... -
REUSING OF RECYCLED PLASTIC AS PAVEMENT BASE AND SUB-BASE MATERIALS
Imtiaz, Tanvir; 0000-0002-0764-2925 (2021-08-10)A large percentage of waste materials is recycled back into the same product from which they originated. In spite of considerable progress in recycling waste materials generated in urban environments, the materials are ...
