Book Assessment of the Performance of Engineered Waste Containment Barriers

Download or read book Assessment of the Performance of Engineered Waste Containment Barriers written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-09-22 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: President Carter's 1980 declaration of a state of emergency at Love Canal, New York, recognized that residents' health had been affected by nearby chemical waste sites. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, enacted in 1976, ushered in a new era of waste management disposal designed to protect the public from harm. It required that modern waste containment systems use "engineered" barriers designed to isolate hazardous and toxic wastes and prevent them from seeping into the environment. These containment systems are now employed at thousands of waste sites around the United States, and their effectiveness must be continually monitored. Assessment of the Performance of Engineered Waste Containment Barriers assesses the performance of waste containment barriers to date. Existing data suggest that waste containment systems with liners and covers, when constructed and maintained in accordance with current regulations, are performing well thus far. However, they have not been in existence long enough to assess long-term (postclosure) performance, which may extend for hundreds of years. The book makes recommendations on how to improve future assessments and increase confidence in predictions of barrier system performance which will be of interest to policy makers, environmental interest groups, industrial waste producers, and industrial waste management industry.

Book Analysis of Hydraulic Gradient Effects for Laboratory Hydraulic Conductivity Testing

Download or read book Analysis of Hydraulic Gradient Effects for Laboratory Hydraulic Conductivity Testing written by PJ. Fox and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A theoretical model is presented that characterizes the effect of hydraulic gradient on measured hydraulic conductivity in the laboratory. A closed-form equation is derived for the distribution of total head within a hydraulic conductivity test specimen as a function of specimen height, boundary stress conditions, compression index, and change of hydraulic conductivity index. From this expression, corresponding equations for the distributions of local pore pressure, effective stress, void ratio, hydraulic gradient, and hydraulic conductivity are presented. Two laboratory experiments were performed using a clay slurry to assess the validity of the theory: (1) an end-of-primary incremental loading consolidation test with direct hydraulic conductivity measurements, and (2) a rigid-wall hydraulic conductivity test with local pore pressure measurements. Using material properties obtained from the consolidation test, the theory predicted correctly the behavior of the hydraulic conductivity test specimen for two values of equivalent hydraulic gradient. It is concluded from this research that excessive hydraulic gradients applied during hydraulic conductivity testing can cause reductions in measured hydraulic conductivity. The magnitude of the effect is expected to be more important for normally consolidated soils with high compressibility, such as soft clays and soil-bentonite slurries.
