INTERFACE LINER SLOPE REINFORCEMENT DESIGN <br /> WMU FU-03,FORWARD INC.LANDFILL <br /> PROBLEM: <br /> Estimate the thickness of subgrade fill required to support the WMU FU-03 interface liner on the south <br /> facing former Austin Road Landfill slope. <br /> GIVEN: <br /> These calculations were previously performed for the WMU D-94,D-97,D-98 and D-99 designs. Since <br /> the interface slope liner and LCRS components are approximately the same as for the previous designs, the <br /> methodology used in the previous calculations is generally applicable to the WMU FU-03 design. <br /> The methodology presented in Jang and Montero(1993)estimates the required subgrade fill thickness to <br /> bridge a 3 ft by 3 ft by 6 ft void under the liner system. The dimensions of the void were estimated by <br /> assuming a worst case scenario of an item as large as a refrigerator collapsing directly under the lining <br /> system. <br /> SUMMARY: <br /> 1. For the 5:1 former Austin Road Landfill slope,the subgrade fill thickness should be approximately 4 ft <br />
