Landfill closures: geosynthetics, interface friction, and new developments
1991
Abstract
The closure [capping] of completed or abandoned solid waste facilities present particular challenges, for example: there usually exists a very uncertain and random subsidence behaviour of the existing waste beneath the closure, the friction behaviour of the various interfaces that are involved in solid waste facilities is not established, there are numerous long term geosynthetic stability and durability issues that must be addressed, and there are an extremely large number of sites that require proper closure. These topics are addressed in the three sessions
