The impact of rapid industrialization around the globe and unsafe waste management practices have become increasingly significant within the last two decades as the disclosed number of unengineered facilities and contaminated sites steadily grows and the anticipated remediation costs increase. A new service sector is emerging in waste containment, soil remediation and environmental restoration. The tasks needed to accomplish the tasks in environmental restoration and waste management place a new responsibility on the services of the civil engineer. It requires collaboration between geotechnical and environmental engineers and prompts the need to cooperate with the chemical, mechanical, and electrical engineers, chemical environmental scientists, microbiologists, groundwater hydrologists and geologists, resulting in the evolution of a geoenvironmental engineering subdiscipline. In line with the different tasks undertaken by the civil engineer serving this sector, papers are organized around four themes: characterization\/speciation, fate and transport, containment, and remediation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTopics include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003etechniques to sample and speciate contaminated groundwater and soil, \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003etransport of chemical species in soils, \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003edesign\/analysis and performance assessment of landfills, \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003econtainment barriers, \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ematerial-waste interactions in landfills, \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003esettlement, stability and seismic analysis of landfills, \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003egeosysthetics for geoenvironmental applications, \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ehydraulic recovery\/containment techniques, \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003esoil and groundwater bioremediation, and \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003esolidification and stabilization. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eCase histories and reviews of the state of the practice and art are also presented.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"American Society of Civil Engineers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47015106085104,"sku":"9780784400746","price":169.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780784400746_p0.gif?v=1763663969","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780784400746","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
