"This study investigated the possibility of developing a synthetic fill material by combining industrial waste materials, thus, integrating the properties of cohesion and friction as a replacement for natural soil. Biosolids and steel slag were selected for proportioning of the synthetic fill material. They were blended in different proportions and the geotechnical properties of the various blends were investigated to determine the strength and bearing of the blended synthetic material for fill applications. The results of the investigation were encouraging with the index properties of the blends better than those of biosolids. It was found that 25% to 40% steel slag blending produced the maximum strength and bearing. The investigation revealed that blending of industrial waste materials has the potential to perform the function of a synthetic fill material in road embankments and backfills. However, further studies are recommended to investigate its long term compressibility and permeability and further improvement of bearing to meet local standards."

"ABSTRAKFor dynamic excitation, it is convenient to idealize homogeneous soil under a base mat by a semi-infinite truncated cone. It is easy to analyze the cone model for vertical and horizontal translation, as well as for rocking and torsional rotation. The accuracy by comparison to rigorous half-space solutions is quite adequate for practical applications. Time-domain computational methods for translational and rotational motions are described in both the stiffness and flexibility formulations and elucidated by examples. The infinite cone is dynamically equivalent to a discrete element representation of the soil, consisting of an interconnection of a small number of masses, springs, and dashpots. As an alternative to the physical-component model, the response may be determined directly by simple recursive numerical procedures. The recursive methods are exact and particularly well suited for hand calculations of short-duration excitations."

Traditional topics in foundation engineering are fading out and new topics are emerging. The European Commission is gratefully acknowledged for funding the following projects within its program FP7 and Horizon2020: MUMOLADE (Multiscale modelling of landslide and debris flow), REVENUES (Reinforced Vegetation Numerical Evaluation of Slopes) and GEORAMP (Geohazards - Risk Assessment, Mitigation and Prevention)."

"To analyze the stability of landfill waste, it is necessary to know the geotechnical characteristics of the solid waste material, especially the parameters related to the stability calculation such as the strength parameters (cohesion and friction angle). The physical properties of the materials are also important, as well as the composition of the waste. This study conducts laboratory and field tests to obtain the aforementioned characteristics from a typical urban landfill in Indonesia. The case study is taken to be the TPST Bantargebang landfill. Due to the difficulties in obtaining an undisturbed sample from landfill waste, a laboratory test was conducted using artificial solid waste samples. The strength parameters of the artificial waste samples were determined using a direct shear test. Besides the laboratory test, field tests (cone penetration test (CPT) and dynamic cone penetrometer test (DCPT)) were also conducted on the closed landfill zones in TPST Bantargebang to obtain the typical bearing capacity of the fill materials. The results of the direct shear test show that the cohesion value of the waste material aligns with the initial compression: higher compression results in higher cohesion, while the contrary applies to the friction angle. The cohesion values range from 0 to 41 kPa, and the friction angle ranges from 0 to 26°. The cone resistance value (qc) up to a depth of 10 m is in the range of 2 to 10 MPa. The equivalent CBR (California Bearing Ratio) value from the DCPT ranges from 4% to 21%. Despite the large variability of the bearing capacity at the top layers, as shown by the DCPT results, the CPT results in the field reveal that the bearing capacity (also the strength characteristics) of the waste materials shows linear increase in line with the depth."
