... of soil at a water content of 15 %: Despite the proposed use of hydrophobic soils in several applications, design protocols to achieve targeted fundamental engineering properties as documented in this work is still lacking. In general, the acquisition of compaction parameters is a time-consuming...

...MA Gabr; SN Valero A geotechnical testing program was conducted to evaluate the engineering properties of aged solid waste samples retrieved from a landfill that began accepting waste as early as 1940. The conducted tests included water content, specific gravity, Atterberg limits, grain-size...
