About the Book

"Geotechnical Practice for Waste Disposal" is a comprehensive and authoritative statement for the current state of practice for geotechnical specialists working on waste disposal problems. It provides background on general principles, such as contaminant migration in soil, and specific guidelines for analysis and design of new waste containment facilities, remediation technologies for cleanup of contaminated sites and procedures for monitoring the ground for contamination. The first part gives in-depth coverage of geochemistry, contaminant transport in soil and hydrogeology. The second part covers new disposal facilities and includes chapters on liners, covers, water balance analysis and stability analysis. Remediation is dealt with in part three where procedures for site investigation, waste containment, waste extraction and in-situ treatment of contaminants are outlined. Finally, in the fourth part, monitoring of groundwater and the vadose zone are described. Each chapter has been written by noted experts in each speciality topic. This book is a source of practical information relevant to engineers and scientists working on problems involving disposal of waste to the land. It should interest all geotechnical engineering professionals, all hydrogeologists and most environmental engineering professionals. It may also appeal to chemists, chemical engineers, mining engineers, geologists and soil scientists involved in environmental problems.
