The civil engineering market for scrap tires encompasses several distinct uses. Whole tires have been used to constmct retaining walls and crash barriers. One pubhcized use is the constmction of houses and at least one motel (7). Whole tires have been used in erosion control, and to constmct breakwaters and artificial reefs. 

Soil conditioners are materials that measurably improve the physical characteristics of the soil as a plant growth medium. Typical uses include erosion control, prevention of surface sealing, and improvement of water infiltration and drainage. Many natural materials such as peat and gypsum are used alone or in combination with synthetics for soil conditioning. This article is concerned with synthetic soil conditioners, many of which are introduced as polymeric systems similar to the gels and foams formed in situ by chemical grouts.

Since moisture is a major concern for turbines designed for nuclear operation, a number of erosion-control techniques were used in the LP turbine. For example, adequate axial spacing between the stationary and the rotating blades minimizes blade erosion. Moisture is removed at all extraction points in the moisture region.

At the time these studies were conducted, the role of acidic excipients was not clearly understood, but the observed bulk erosion is of course consistent with the mechanism shown in Fig. 6. Consequently, if gross bulk erosion is to be avoided and long-term erosion control of levonorgestrel achieved, it is necessary to stabilize the device interior. To do so, devices with incorporated Mg(OH)2...

In more recent applications, several types of ET cover designs also have incorporated synthetic materials, such as geomembranes, which are used to enhance the function of minimizing water into the waste. For example, the Operating Industries Inc. Landfill in California has incorporated a soil layer with a geosynthetic clay liner in the design. The cover system for this site will reduce surface gas emissions, prevent oxygen intrusion and percolation, and provide for erosion control.68... 

This section describes the elements in a closure or cap system of a completed landfill, including flexible membrane caps (FMCs), SWCR systems, gas control layers, biotic barriers, and vegetative top covers. It also discusses infiltration, erosion control, and long-term aesthetic concerns associated with securing a completed landfill. 

The simplest model for pure erosion control with kinetics dominated by a single rate constant and uniformly distributed drugs was described by Hopfenberg (1976). This model says nothing about the various physical phenomena that contribute to erosion, and therefore fails to describe drug release profiles from many poly anhydride systems. Below we classify some of the models that can be found in the literature.
