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