Design of Municipal Solid Waste Treatment Plant for a Dumping Ground
Abstract: Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) has become a heavy environmental drawback in major cities everywhere world. Solid waste management is one in every of the fundamental essential services provided by Municipal authorities within the country to stay urban centres clean. Municipal laws governing the urban native bodies don't have adequate provisions to deal efficiently with the ever-growing drawback of Solid Waste Management. With rapid urbanization, the situation is becoming critical as …

Design of Leachate Treatment Plant for Adharwadi Dumping Waste
Abstract: Generation of municipal solid waste (MSW) is increasing due to urbanization, commercialization, and rising population. This result in leachate generation from MSW landfill and dump side. Leachate from dumpsite is the major environmental problem as it causes surface water pollution, ground water pollution and land pollution. Leachate is defined as a liquid that passes through a landfill and has extracted dissolved and suspended matter from it Raghab et al. 2013. …

Composting of Municipal Solid Waste to Enhance the Fertility of Soil
Abstract: Composting has been used as a method of utilisation organic matter into the soil to boost soil structure and fertility. The composting method has received abundant attention in recent years due to pollution issues and also the seek for environmentally sound strategies for treating waste. Waste volumes still rise, that ends up in loss of resources and inflated environmental risks. Open selling and landfill could be a major technique for …

Effects of Reinforcing Elements in Soil Reinforcement
Abstract: The inclusion of reinforcing elements in a soil mass improves its geotechnical properties. The principle behind soil reinforcement is that the reinforcing elements absorb the tensile load and shear stress within the reinforced structures and hence prevent the shear failure and settlement. The friction developed between the interface of soil and reinforcing element improves the properties of soil. Different types of natural and synthetic fibers have been used in various …

Ground improvement using Stone Column technique on black cotton soil and red soil.
Abstract: Stone column allows the loose soil to settle down properly as well as allows to establish required design criteria. Application of stone column benefits in numbers in higher resistance values, lower permeability, elimination of excessive excavation and material handling and thus it improves the strength of soil. The objective of this paper is to study the increasing strength of soil after application of stone column . Keywords: Stone column, black …
