Landfills

The landfill is a site used for the disposal of waste materials. The landfill is a solid waste facility that is often known as a dumping ground. The image below shows a landfill site in Hawaii. Landfilling is the most ancient and common method used for the disposal of waste. For the landfill, a deep trench is constructed in an isolated place away from the city. The trench for landfills is designed properly after analyzing the total population and the waste generation per capita. The waste is dumped into the trench and after every layer of waste, a layer of soil is spread on the top of it.

The total density of sand in an embankment was found to be 1900kg/m^3 and the field water content was 12% . In the laboratory, the density of the solid was found to be 2660 kg.m^3, and the maximum and minimum voids ratio were 0.63 and 0.44, respectively What is the void ratio of the sand? Calculate the relative density of the sand in the field:
A certain saturated sand (S = 100%) has a moisture content of 25.1% and a specific gravity of solids of 2.68. It also has a maximum void ratio of 0.84 and a minimum void ratio of 0.33. Calculate its relative density and classify its consistency
A 1,000 cc container was just filled with sand in its loosest possible state and then the container was filled at the densest possible state. The dry masses of sand occupying the container space were 1,520 g and 1,830 g respectively. The sand in-situ has a void ratio of 0.64. If the specific gravity of solids is 2.65, find the relative density.
A certain saturated sand (S = 100,) has a moisture content of 25.1 percent and a specificgravity of solids of 2.68. It also has a maximum index void ratio of 0.84 and a minimum indexvoid ratio of 0.33. Compute its relative density and classify its consistency.
A sand is composed of solid constituents having a density of 2.60 Mg/m³. The void ratio is 0.572. Compute the density of the sand when dry and when saturated, and compare with the effective density when submerged.
A certain saturated sand (S = 100%) has a moisture content of 27.9% and a specific gravity of solids of 2.61. It also has a maximum index void ratio of 0.90 and a minimum index void ratio of 0.33. Compute its relative density and classify its consistency. (Table on the right) Solution: Given the values of mmoisture content, specific gravity and degree of saturation, the void ratio can be estiamted as: e = Thus the relative density is found to be Dr = • According to the table, the soil is classified as %; soil.

The coefficient of permeability of sand at a void ratio of 0.80 is 0.47 mm/s. Estimate the coefficient of permeability of this sand at a void ratio of 0.50.
The coefficient of permeability of fine sand is 0.012 cm/sec at a voids ratio of 0.57. Estimate the increased permeability using the Kozeny-Carman formula of this same sand when its voids ratio has increased to 0.72.
