Feasibility Study of Fiber-Reinforced Dredged Reservoir Sediment for Landfill Cover Applications Dredged reservoir sediments (DRS), generated in large volumes during dam desilting operations, pose significant stockpiling and land-use challenges in Mediterranean regions. Owing to their high fines content and moderate plasticity, these sediments present potential for reuse as compacted hydraulic....
