1- INTRODUCTION
The slope stability assessment was performed considering the following tasks:

✓ Selection of representative slope section and geotechnical parameters definition

✓ 2D static slope stability analysis

✓ Influence of geosynthetic interface within a liner system in static analyses of landfill

Figure 1: Study case of landfill demonstration

Stability is a very significant part of the landfill design, especially in a multilayered final
cover. Slope failure of landfill can occur during the construction of landfill, during filling or
after closure of the landfill. Most landfill failures have occurred in slopes of waste, and in
interfaces between geosynthetic-geosynthetic and soil-geosynthetic materials. Landfill
failures can have disastrous result including loss of life, damage to property, and pollution of
the surrounding environment, surface, and groundwater. Therefore, the stability of landfill
must be dealt with very carefully to know how safe a landfill is or how hazardous a landfill
is.
2- METHODOLOGY

2.1- Project Steps


As a first step the DXF file provided by professor have been imported to the program that
will be used, which is Slide 2.

Figure 2: Importing the dxf file to the program that will be used
As a second step we implemented the geotechnical data that we were given in the table
below. In different sections of the landfill, we have different materials such as subsoil,
embankment, waste etc. By using the given properties, we implemented the unit weights,
shear strength angles, cohesion values for each of the materials.

Figure 4: Defining material properties
After implementing the material properties, we assigned the sections inside the places where
we have the same material in the model.

2D limit equilibrium analyses should be performed in order to assess stability. Calculations
should be performed using the code SLIDE2.
The analyses comprise the following steps:

✓ Model generation,

✓ Slip Surfaces generation,

✓ Analysis with Bishop simplified and Janbu simplified methods,

✓ Analysis with Bishop simplified and Janbu simplified methods (with liner system)

4- CONCLUSION

Landfill analysis conducted using the slice method provides valuable insights into the
composition and stratification of waste deposits over different depths. By systematically
examining layers, we can discern variations in material types, decomposition rates, and
potential environmental impact. This method facilitates a comprehensive understanding of
the long-term consequences of landfill sites, aiding in the development of effective waste
management strategies and environmental mitigation measures. The slice approach enhances
precision and depth of analysis, enabling policymakers and environmentalists to make
informed decisions for sustainable waste disposal practices.
