Seismic Design Considerations

StarStarStarStar

Incorporating seismic resilience into landfill structures to withstand earthquakes. Factors include local seismicity, dynamic soil properties, and landfill geometry.

StarStarStarStar

Landfill Gas Control

StarStarStarStar

Techniques to manage the production and emission of gases from decomposing wastes. Considerations include gas extraction methods, energy recovery systems, and emission control.

StarStarStarStar

Hydrology and Drainage

StarStarStarStar

Managing the flow of surface and subsurface water around the landfill. Considers surface water runoff, groundwater control, and drainage system design.

StarStarStarStar

Capping Systems

StarStarStarStar

The final cover applied to the landfill to isolate waste from the environment. Key considerations are barrier selection, erosion control, and vegetation compatibility.

StarStarStarStar

Environmental Impact and Risk Assessment

StarStarStarStar

Estimating the potential negative effects of landfills on the environment and assessing mitigation strategies. Focuses on pollution prevention, ecological impact, and regulatory compliance.

StarStarStarStar

Liner Systems

StarStarStarStar

Barriers that contain and prevent leakage of waste contents into the environment. Design considerations include material selection, permeability, and stability.

StarStarStarStar

Leachate Management

StarStarStarStar

Systems designed to collect and treat the liquid that filters through landfills. Considerations include leachate volume estimation, treatment methods, and disposal.

StarStarStarStar

Slope Stability

StarStarStarStar

Ensuring the integrity of landfill slopes to prevent failure. Considerations include soil strength, geometry of landfill slopes, and surcharge loads.

StarStarStarStar

Foundation Design

StarStarStarStar

Creating a stable base to support the landfill structure. Considerations involve bearing capacity, settlement, and soil reinforcement methods.

StarStarStarStar

Waste Settlement Analysis

StarStarStarStar

Predicting and accommodating the settlement of waste materials over time. This includes monitoring strategies, post-settlement land use, and design for future expansion.
