Foundation problems in sanitary land fills
Building foundations suffer from punching into fill and from erratic consolidation settlement; decay and decomposition produce further settlement and sometimes noxious gases; construction of foundations through fill is difficult and expensive; more effective utilization is possible if fill is planned for future buildings; materials of highest density and resistance to breakdown should be segregated on future building sites; these should be highly compacted, and possibly surcharged to increase strength and reduce compressibility; structures must be designed to absorb settlement or to be supported on piles or piers; they must be designed to resist corrosion and gases inherent in fills.
