ENGINEERING BEHAVIOR OF A WASTE CONVERSION END PRODUCT

Abstract

The laboratory investigation reported is concerned with the engineering behavior of the compost material in a compacted fill obtained from processing waste products and sewage. From the information obtained in the laboratory, it is possible to recommend 1) the best method of placement, 2) the allowable bearing capacity, 3) the slope stability, and, 4) the expected settlement of the material placed in a landfill.
