Inhaltsangabe

Over the past decade, researchers and practitioners have been developing an improved understanding of landfill response under earthquake excitations. This book summarizes state-of-the-practice knowledge related to seismic design and performance of landfills. A wide range of topics are covered, including ground motion for landfill design; seismic response analysis of landfills; dynamic response analysis of geosynthetic systems; dynamic properties of landfill wastes; performance of landfills during recent earthquakes; and future research needs. Specific papers detail insitu testing methods for dynamic properties of municipal solid waste landfills; the classification of landfills for seismic stability assessment; slip displacements of geosynthetic systems under dynamic excitation; and more.
