ASCE Manual of Practice No. 159 PDF

Sponsored by the Geoenvironmental Engineering Committee of the Technical Coordination Council of the Geo-Institute of ASCE

Geoenvironmental Engineering: Site Contaminant Characterization, Containment Facilities, Solid Waste Materials, and Contaminated Ground Interventions, MOP 159, provides an overview of a variety of aspects of geoenvironmental engineering, outlining design procedures and recommendations in engineering practice where appropriate.

Topics include

• Waste and site characterization,
• Waste material properties,
• Containment systems,
• Mine waste geotechnics,
• Contaminated ground interventions, and
• Barriers.

MOP 159 aims to be a consensus document that provides a concise state of the practice for geoenvironmental engineering practitioners.
