Landfills are engineered containment systems that are used for safe disposal of municipal solid waste in the ground. Although, we aim to decrease the volume of municipal waste by recycling and use incineration systems in modern era, there still left huge volume of waste that can only be managed by safe disposal through landfill systems. For example, more than 70% of municipal solid waste is disposed in landfills in North America.<\/p>\n
The design and construction of these landfill facilities require a proper understanding of waste materials, geoenvironmental behavior of supporting ground materials, and hydrogeology of the landfill site to ensure long-term stability of the landfill and protection of the environment.<\/p>\n
This short course will focus on the analysis and design of municipal solid waste landfills to minimize contamination of surrounding environment. Most engineers with responsibility for design and construction of containment and barrier systems need a working understanding of basic concepts to gain confidence in dealing with a variety geoenvironment related problems that they encounter on engineering projects. This course is designed so that participants can better understand modern landfills and learn from experts in geoenvironmental engineering on how to design and operate a safe and sustainable landfill. All key concepts and guidelines will be explained and emphasis will be placed on the practical application of the information provided.<\/p>\n
