The symposium on Geotechnical Aspects of Ocean Waste Disposal was held in January, 1989. ASTM Committee D-18 on Soil and Rock sponsored the symposium. This publication contains papers presented at the symposium and subsequently peer-reviewed.
The papers in this publication generally fall into one of two categories - shallow ocean disposal or deep ocean disposal. The STP opens with an introduction to geotechnical engineering for ocean waste disposal and closes with a summary of the symposium and recommendations of areas for further research.
Specific topics covered by papers in this collection include:
- particulate wastes
- imaging technology
- disposal site monitoring
- disposal site selection
- fiber optic sensors
- in situ chemical measurements
- monitoring dredge disposal sites
- seabed sediment sampler
- marine sediment properties
- effects of ocean disposal
- toxic waste disposal
- deep ocean radioactive waste disposal
- subseabed disposal
- piezometer probe measurement
- pore pressure measurements
- geotechnical assessment
- canister insertion
- high-level radioactive waste thermal aspects
