GEOTECHNICAL ASPECTS OF INVESTIGATIONS AND DEVELOPMENT OF A MODERN TECHNOLOGY IN THE CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE

A modern system of waste deposition may be described as composed of a main and some secondary structures on the reclaimed natural land.The principal condition the system must meet is environmental protection.A project of the kind requires a design and construction based on reliable investigation data and the use of modern construction materials and technologies.To be able to recommend an adequate system of protection, many aspects have to be known of the impacts that develop during the construction, operation and final closing of the structure.Various aspects of the geotechnical impact are essential.Based on experience, one of critical stability elements for a municipal waste deposit is the interaction of different materials within the protection systems, or the interaction between the system of protection and the municipal waste, specifically their contact surfaces.The impacts have been given little consideration in our national geotechnical projects, and, if considered, the physical and mechanics parameters as a rule were based on the state-of-the-art literature.It ought to be said, however, that usability of these sources is limited, because the composition and technology of waste treatment largely depend on the government strategy for waste management.The present project is planned to include necessary field and laboratory mechanics tests of solid wastes from several characteristic refuse deposits in Serbia, for relevant soil mechanical parameters to be used in designs.
