Reinforced Soil Structures for Landfill Expansion
Due to the particular morphology of some Italian Regions, it is very difficult to find areas suitable for a new waste disposal site location. As a consequence, lots of waste disposal sites are in mountain areas and many of them have been enlarged with respect to their predicted dimensions. The article describes the application of reinforced soil structures for the expansion of one mountain-located landfill and the use of geosynthetic materials for the lining systems. A case history is presented: a needful embankment on the waste body for the construction of the upper new part of the landfill lining with natural and geosynthetic materials. Because of the site conditions and other design requirements (stability, Italian regulations, lack of appropriate soil materials), realization of the works has been rendered very difficult in some circumstances; some problems could have been overcome thanks to the usage of geosynthetics materials as described in the paper.
