The Second Edition of GEOTECHNOLOGY OF WASTE MANAGEMENT provides an up-to-date discussion of environmental geotechnology, an increasingly important area of study and real-world application in the field of civil engineering. Unlike encyclopedic references that provide little context for understanding and applying the subject matter, Oweis and Khera's text guides students through practical discussions of solid wastes, their index properties, settlement characteristics, strength behavior, and hydraulic properties.

The Second Edition of GEOTECHNOLOGY OF WASTE MANAGEMENT provides an up-to-date discussion of environmental geotechnology, an increasingly important area of study and real-world application in the field of civil engineering. Unlike encyclopedic references that provide little context for understanding and applying the subject matter, Oweis and Khera's text guides students through practical discussions of solid wastes, their index properties, settlement characteristics, strength behavior, and hydraulic properties. Landfill design coverage includes site investigation and selection, geosynthetic and soil liner systems, leachate generation and detection, erosion control and caps, gas generation and management, foundation and slope stability, and applicable regulatory guidelines.

Conventional or classical soil mechanics assumes s
Conventional or classical soil mechanics assumes soil media to be completely water or air saturated. This is a typical example of a two phase media consisting of soil solids and water/air. The assumption of two phases considerably simplifies the mathematical quantification of the complex phenomena that take place in porous media. Off late, geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering problems require the concept of three or multiphase behaviour of soil for realistic solution of several field situations. For example, a partially saturated soil is a three phase porous media consisting of air, water and soil.
