Dynamic load test is often used for bearing capacity evaluation of driven pile foundation. It is also reported the successful use of this test in bored piles and caissons. This research is mainly concerned with the adaptation, performance and interpretation of the dynamic load test in circular steel plate aiming at the verification of the bearing capaci...
View ArticleNine 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 ...
