Landfill Liner Support Over Yielding Foundations <br />M <br />Terence G. Sheridan <br />Federal and state regulations require that the foundation of a landfill be capable of <br />supporting the landfill and the structural components of the landfill. Where landfills <br />are located over yielding foundations, such as existing landfills, karst terrains and old <br />mine tunnels, the subgrade trust be designed to insure the integrity of the landfill's <br />structural components. This paper summarizes the history of this engineering application <br />and reviews the design methodology utilized for this application. A design example is <br />included. <br />E <br />C <br />E <br />
