Geotechnical aspects and construction quality assurance plans for MSW landfills recently built in Portugal

摘要

The paper describes the activities of the Laboratorio Nacional de Engenharia Civil (LNEC) related to the implementation of CQA plans and provision of geotechnical advice for MSW landfills recently built in Portugal. Reference is made to different geotechnical problems arisen during construction, including short descriptions of case histories where slope stability problems came up affecting either the excavation or the constructed slopes.
