| Abstract | A study was conducted to evaluate the current standard of practice for the design and
construction of municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills in Thailand. From the findings of this
study, it was concluded that Thailand is approaching internationally accepted standards for
design and construction of the MSW landfills. The study was started with the review of design
and construction of ten recently engineered landfills, then it became more specific to the four
of them, namely Pathumthani, Sri Racha, Nakhon Sawan, and Hua Hin. Evaluation was made
on the basis of design, construction, and specification of liner, site selection and construction
practices of the MSW landfills. Factor of safety of the landfills were calculated by
PCSTABL5M computer program. The minimum factor of safety of Pathumthani, Sri Racha,
Nakhon Sawan, and Hua Hin landfill were 1.56, 1.61, 1.65, and 1.63 respectively. Refuse
settlement was calculated by SOWERS model. Results showed that the settlement in all the
landfills was under acceptable limit. The liner stability was evaluated by adopting the
methodology given by GIROUD and BEECH (1989). |
