Abstract:The objective of this paper is to review the slope stability analysis conducted during the initial design stages of a new landfill cell that forms part of a landfill site expansion in Gauteng. The SLOPE/W slope stability software, from the Geostudio integrated software suite, was used to carry out the analysis. Initial trials revealed a significant waste slope instability, which, when further investigated, was attributed to the weak sliding interface between the smooth geomembrane and clay, the 8 m deep basin,… Show more
