Behaviour of Landfill Systems under Monotonic and Earthquake Loading. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, June 2008, Pages: 316
An investigation into the behaviour of landfill systems under monotonic and earthquake loading is presented in this book. The book covers four main themes; (1) seismic behaviour of municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills; (2) tensile behaviour of geomembrane on landfill slopes; (3) the integrity of landfills founded on liquefiable foundations and (4) cracking in clay. The investigation was carried out by centrifuge testing and laboratory testing.
The results in the book provide insight into the seismic behaviour of MSW, geomembrane tension induced by earthquakes, liner damage due to liquefaction of foundation soil and crack initiation in clay.
The book contains valuable source of information for both academics and practicing engineers. Landfill engineers involved in design of new landfills or risk assessment of old landfills may find the data in this book valuable.
