The environmentally sustainable municipal solid waste management – case study of erode (d.t), india
Abstract: The municipal solid waste management system is an essential part of an environmental management system, municipal solid waste management generates enormous quantities of waste, due to urbanisation and development of many industries with many aspects. Disposal of municipal solid waste takes a high-risk factor in the environment condition. Solid waste can be modified into effective manner through 3R principles “reduce”, “reuse” and “recycle” ,the conversion of municipal solid waste aims, …

Solid Waste Management by adopting Incineration
Abstract: Incineration has been employed extensively for waste disposal, involving household, harmful, and medical waste but there is escalating public concern over the advantages of combusting the waste against the health risk from pollutants produced in combustion. Waste Incineration and Public Health advises the rising debate with the latest information accessible on incineration, pollution, and human health alongside with expert conclusions and commendations for advance research and enhancement of such areas …

Free Swelling Behaviour of Bentonite-sand Mixtures in Presence of Pore Fluids of Different Dielectric Constants
Abstract: The free swelling behaviour of bentonite sand mixtures have been studied using different percentage of ethanol-water and methanol-water solutions. Free swell index tests were conducted at different proportion of ethanol and methanol with distilled water(0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100%). Free swell index (FSI), modified free swell index (MFSI) and free swell ratio (FSR) were determined from the results obtained from the tests. FSI, MFSI and FSR decrease with …

Influence of Rock Properties on Sound Level
Abstract: Rocks used as building materials or for some other purposes are tested for their physico-mechanical properties to assess their suitability. For this, rock boulders excavated from the quarries are cut, shaped and crushed in the laboratory. While carrying out these processes, it generates sound. In this study, rock boulders received from the industries were cut in the form of cylindrical shape to determine its compressive strength, density and Young’s modulus.For …

Steepening Pit Walls- Geotechnical and Economic Implications
Abstract: Current approach to pit-wall analysis tends to separate designs into distinct categories. The first consideration involves analysis of slope in which discontinuities actively participate in the failure mobilization. The second involves design analysis of non-structural controls which could results in a wide range of failure mechanisms. The third and the least sought for approach is the economic assessment of the slope design which could render optimized pit slope and the …
