A Simple Relationship to Estimate Parameters of the Optimum Compaction Point
Applied Sciences, 2022 Compacted clay covers have been the most commonly used materials for hydraulic barrier layers. During their construction, the control of some parameters such as compactive effort and molding water content is required.

Linearized plasticity is the evolutionary $\Gamma$-limit of finite plasticity
Journal of the European Mathematical Society, 2013 We provide a rigorous justification of the classical linearization approach in plasticity. By taking the small-deformations limit, we prove via \Gamma -convergence for rate-independent processes that energetic solutions of the quasi-static finite ...

Predicting the Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity of Clayey Soils and Clayey or Silty Sands
Geosciences, 2020 Predictive models able to provide a reliable estimate of hydraulic conductivity can be useful in various geotechnical applications. Since most of the existing predictive methods for saturated hydraulic conductivity estimation are valid only for a limited

Plastic Waste: Environmental Legal Issues and Policy Law Enforcement for Environmental Sustainability [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2021 The use of plastic products has been part of human life and daily activities. Since plastic can be harmful to the environment, solutions are required to limit, reduce, and minimize the use of this material for sustaining environmental preservation ...
