Abstract
The design of 'piggyback landfills' (i.e. lateral or vertical expansio n of existing waste disposal facilities) presents unique problems whic h require careful evaluation of the impact of both settlement and stab ility issues. This paper presents a case study which demonstrates how geosynthetic materials have been utilized to address settlement and st ability problems in a piggyback landfill design for a sludge monofill.
