Strength and characteristic of composite modelled of kaolinite clay and crushed siltstone as landfill liner / Nursyazreen Ahmad Mirza

This thesis presents the findings of laboratory work on behavior of landfill liner using crushed siltstone and kaolinite. The selection of landfill liner are based on compatibility with the soil environment, resistance of load from waste, and also groundwater levels. Inspired by using waste material...

Solid wastes This thesis presents the findings of laboratory work on behavior of landfill liner using crushed siltstone and kaolinite. The selection of landfill liner are based on compatibility with the soil environment, resistance of load from waste, and also groundwater levels. Inspired by using waste material as engineering purpose, therefore this study is to determine the physical properties of composite kaolinite clay-crushed siltstone liner, to predict the effect of composite on hydraulic conductivity and engineering characteristic of composite kaolinite clay-crushed siltstone liner and also to analyze the settlement result by using Plaxis Modelling.There is a paucity of the previous research, where the study on the liner material is lacking. Therefore, in the present study, an alternative liner made of composite material is studied and developed. The waste material that had been used in this studied was crushed siltstone which then sandwiched with kaolinite layers and vice versa. The crushed siltstone and kaolinite clay was modeled in laboratory by sandwiching them in layer according to proportion thickness of intermediate layers range between 10% to 50%. Several geometry profiles were developed in which siltstone is placed at the middle and vice versa. All specimens were prepared and tested in accordance with BS 1377 standard.

Strength characteristics of each composite were analyzed and discussed accordingly.

Strength is increased when the siltstone layer is located as an intermediate layer.
