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.

Question

Clearly explain with one example where each (total suction, matric suction and osmotic suction) of this suction value is used in geotechnical or geo-environmental engineering practice applications.

This problem have been answered a while ago but I wanted to ask for clarifications. A ship arrives at the mouth of a river in water of density 1016 kg per cu. m with a freeboard of ‘S’ m. She then discharges 150 tonnes of cargo, and proceeds up river to a second port, consuming 14 tonnes of bunkers. When she arrives at the second port the freeboard is again ‘S’ m, the density of the water being 1004 kg per cu. m. Find the ship’s displacement on arrival at the second port. The answer is shown in the image attached. Question: Where did you get the 13,885.33 tonnes? Please provide explanations and can you illustrate the problem? Thank you so much. I am having a hard time to understand it an illustration and detailed explanation will be very helpful. Thank you.

A pipe line 6000 m long is to convey a sewage having some corrosive effect. Bids have been received for reinforced concrete, cast iron and steel. Because of the varying hydraulic qualities of the inside surfaces the reinforced concrete was to be 39 inches in diameter, the cast iron pipe 42 inches in diameter and steel 45 inches in diameter. The assumed length of life of the materials are 100,75 and 50 years for cast iron, concrete and steel respectively. Annual maintenance costs are assumed as P 600 for cast iron, P 900 for concrete and P 3,600 for steel. The bids are P 790,000 for reinforced concrete and P 580,000 for steel. If interest rate is 5%, which of the bid is favourable?
