<p>The presence of dumping grounds in highly urbanized environment directly results into health hazards for the people residing in the surrounding areas. In the past years, these open dumps have become a threat to the local hydrogeology. Groundwater contamination ...

In this paper, soil samples collected from three different dumping site located in Ojota, Oke Afa and Solous Lagos were examined to systematically study the speciation of cadmium and lead in dumpsite soil which allows a distinction to be made between residual ...

<p>The aim of this work is to investigate the effect of waste dumps on the groundwater in Choba using resistivity sounding method and laboratory water sample analysis. An ABEM SAS 1000 terrameter was used to acquire data in two locations namely; at the dumpsite ...

<p>Secure stability and reliable serviceability of radioactive dump is a difficult engineering problem. Due to difficult geological formations determined mainly by great compressibility, low shear strength of soils, and high ground water level, or great upward ...

This paper reviews mechanisms of waste dump failure and discusses the nature of the deformations which occur, before and during the start of failure. Surface slides, base spreading and deep seated failure are considered. Methods of monitoring deformation and ...
