Abstract

The design of geomembrane lined containment systems is a multi-faceted problem requiring the combined talents of many diverse disciplines. One of these disciplines is that of geotechnical engineering, within which falls the topic of soil slope stability. Since the integrity of the liner is dependent on this support system its proper design is of obvious importance. This paper addresses various approaches of soil slope stability and also includes the stability of cover soils which are often placed above the geomembrane for its protection. Related topics of anchor trench design at the top of the slope and of post-construction stability problems will be treated in subsequent papers.
