Sustainable Design of Compacted Laterite Soil Liner
Abstract Laterite soil, as one of the major groups of tropical residual soils, was investigated in application for engineered sanitary landfill liner. The laterite soil was used as a stand-alone material without any additives and subjected to different gradation to check its geotechnical potentiality as a sustainable material for liner. Specimens were prepared at different moulding water contents, i.e. optimum moisture content (OMC), dry of OMC and wet of OMC. Tests were carried out on natural soil 30, 40 and 50% fine content by dry weight of soil sample. The results showed that laterite soils should contain at least a minimum of 50% fine gradation to be used as liner. The outcome of this research is expected to serve as a sustainable guide to geotechnical/geo-environmental engineers in using laterite soil as a material in the construction of hydraulic barriers used for engineered sanitary landfill system in tropical countries of the world.
