Landfill Engineering
There are a number of challenges that need to be considered by a landfill design engineer when proposing a geosynthetic solution within a landfill development. These include:
1. Establishing the required design life of the materials
2. Establishing the geotechnical design parameters such as vertical and lateral forces, the nature of point loads, shear stresses due to waste settlement and predicting temperatures, chemical and biological stresses
3. Forming an appropriate specification for the geosynthetics within the contract documents
4. Making decisions with regard to the type and frequency of the CQA.
