Development Of Brownfield Database Using GIS
Hossain, Jubair (Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2009-09-16)Brownfields are abandoned, idled or underutilized industrial or commercial sites where expansion or redevelopment is complicated by actual or perceived environmental contamination. Brownfields may be as small as a vacant ... -
Driveability of Recycled Plastic Pin (RPP) in North Texas
Aziz, Arif Mohammad (2019-12-10)The Recycled Plastic Pins (RPP) have been extensively used as an alternative to the conventional slope stabilization methods in stabilizing shallows slope failure in Texas, Missouri, Kansas, and Idaho in the United States. ... -
EFFECT OF CHICKEN MANURE ON METHANE PRODUCTION FROM MSW IN LAB SCALE ANAEROBIC REACTORS
Islam, Md Tauhidul (2019-12-09)One of the major problems of urbanization is the production of a huge amount of Municipal Solid Waste. The cities and metropolitan areas are generating more and more solid waste and these wastes are filling up the landfill ... -
Effect of fine grained soil in the strength of cement treated flex-base materials
Timsina, Sita; 0000-0001-8434-8319 (2018-05-01)The recycled materials such as, Recycled Crushed Concrete Aggregates (RCCA) and Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) treated with cement has been widely used as the alternative granular base in pavement construction in different ... -
Effect Of Leachate Recirculation On Methane Generation Of A Bioreactor Landfill
Manzur, Shahed R. (Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2010-11-01)Municipal solid waste (MSW) disposal is of current concern due to the green-house effect and rising temperature all around the globe. Landfill gas is generated from aerobic & anaerobic biodegradation of organic materials ... -
Effect of Manure and Enzyme on the Degradation of Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste in Biocell
Sapkota, Anuja; 0000-0002-6059-2795 (2017-05-05)More than half of total Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) generated is composed of organic degradable waste for developed countries and the percentage is even higher for developing countries. Handling of organic fraction of MSW ... -
Effect of Manures on Food Waste Degradation in Biocell
Zaman, Md Nur Basit; 0000-0003-0095-1597 (2016-11-30)Proper disposal of food waste is a challenge due to adverse effect on the environment through generation of excessive leachate and greenhouse gas (CH4). After food loss through the food supply chain, the food waste ends ... -
