Geosynthetics Reinforcement in Landfills Design: Australasian Perspectives
Authors: Abdelmalek Bouazza and Fred GassnerAuthor Affiliations
Publication: International Perspectives on Soil Reinforcement Applications
Abstract
Reinforcement applications in landfills in the Australasian region are very limited due to the fact that pressure on land use is minimal. The waste disposal industry in the region has relied for many years on the infilling of worked mineral voids and hard rock quarries as the primary means of waste disposal resulting in less use of land. This paper presents some case studies that can be considered as innovative in the limited Australasian experience in landfill reinforcement
