SANITARY LANDDILLS
• Sanitary landfills: are becoming the major sites for solid waste
disposal. The geotechnical engineer's role waste disposal includes:
• 1-Evaluation of physical and chemical materials properties.
• 2-Design and supervision during construction of disposal facilities.
• 3- Monitoring of facilities during operation to ensure satisfactory
performance, and
• 4- Evaluation of potential and uses after completion of disposal
operation.
• The landfill Materials: interact with moisture received from rainfall
and snow to from a liquid called (Leachate). The chemical
composition of leachates varies widely, depending on the waste
material involved.
• Construction of foundations over sanitary landfills is generally
problematic because of poisonous gases, excessive settlement and
low inherent bearing capacity.
• Sanitary landfills provide away to dispose of
refuse on land without endangering public
health. Sanitary landfills are used in almost all
countries, to varying degree of success. The
refuse disposed of in sanitary landfills may
contain organic, wood, paper and fiber wastes,
or demolition wastes such as bricks and stones.
The refuse is dumped and compacted at frequent
intervals and is then covered with a layer of soil,
as shown in Figure below.
• Das, 2002 enormous amount of solid waste are
generated every year in United States and other
industrialized countries. These waste material can
in general ,be classified into four major categories:
• 1- Municipal waste
• 2- Industrial waste
• 3- Hazardous waste
• 4- Low-level radioactive waste
• Leachates: are a main source of groundwater
pollution, therefore they must be contained
properly in all landfills, surface impoundments,
and waste piles within some type of liner system.
• In compacted state, the range unit weight of refuse
may vary between (5- 10) kN/m^3
Landfills liner system
• Compaction of clay soil for clay linear construction
• Single clay linear and single geomembrane linear system
• Double liners and systems for leachate collection and removal.
