Abstract

Municipal solid waste is rapidly increasing problem right from human civilization. Increasing amount of solid waste is severely affecting human health and surrounding environment. One of the preferred methods to deal with solid waste disposal is sanitary landfill, which is designed to minimize the impact on environment. Major problem is caused to ground water by generation of leachate. Hence, Synthetic liners are used with layers of soil having permeability less than 1 x10-7 to prevent the flow of leachate out of landfill. Synthetic liners are costly and cannot be used in rural areas, where financial feasibility can be achieved by locally available clay liner. This study makes an attempt to produce liners with locally available soil samples and using admixture to make low permeable barrier. This study aims on checking geotechnical properties of various locally available soils and use them in layers as liner system in prototype models.
