Stability Analysis for Increasing the Height of Hazardous Waste Landfill

at Dahej (Gujarat)

1 BACKGROUND

Bharuch Enviro Infrastructure Ltd. (BEIL), Gujrat vide their email dated May 30 and 31,

2016 requested IIT Delhi to undertake feasibility study of increasing the height of hazardous

waste landfill at Dahej from 15m to 31.8m. This report presents the details and consequent

findings of the stability analyses performed on waste mass of proposed increased height and

the cover system of landfill.

1.1 Objective

i. Check the stability of waste mass for the proposed height of 31.8m under various field

conditions.

ii. Check the stability of cover system of the landfill at various interfaces.

1.2 Scope

The following scopes of work are covered in this study:

1. Stability analysis of permanent waste slope of inclination 1V:4H, height of waste mass

of 31.8m with 3m wide berms at every 8m height (refer Fig.1).

2. Stability analysis of cover system of landfill at various interfaces between layers of the

cover system.

3. Stability analysis of temporary waste slope of inclination 1V:2H, height of waste mass

of 31.8m with 2m wide berms at every 8m height.

4. Stability analysis of temporary waste slope, of slope inclination 1V:3H, height of waste

mass of 31.8m with 2m wide berms at every 8m height.

1.3 Methodology

Stability analysis for permanent waste slope and temporary waste slope was carried out using

circular slip surface and Morgenstern-Price method. Stability of interface was checked by

sliding wedge method.

2 MATERIALS AND PROPERTIES

The properties of materials used in the stability analyses are given in Table 1. The material

properties are taken from the soil investigation report and the report submitted by Golder

Associates to BEIL (Report No. 13514290471.502/B.1). These reports were supplied to the

consultant by the client. It is to be noted that the effective strength parameters of subgrade

soil, which is stiff to very stiff highly plastic clay, have been taken from geotechnical

investigation report by M.K. Soil Testing Laboratory using correlations from Gulhati and

Datta (2005).

2.1 Waste

The material properties for the hazardous waste mass have been considered from the report

by Golder Associates to BEIL. As the waste mass is largely composed of inorganic hazardous

waste material, higher unit weight and lower cohesion than municipal solid wastes are

considered (refer Table 1).

2.2 Layers of Cover System

The cover system comprises of the following components sequentially (from the top-down,

see Fig. 2):

Vegetation or rubble masonry + vegetation

600 mm thick compacted soil

250 g/m2 non-woven geotextile

300 mm thick drainage layer, composed of coarse sand and gravel

250 g/m2 non-woven geotextile

1.5 mm thick textured HDPE geomembrane

600 mm thick compacted clay liner of permeability less than 1×10-9m/s

250 g/m2 non-woven geotextile

300 mm thick gas vent layer, composed of clean medium to coarse sand

For the stability analyses of the cover system, not all the interfaces between the various

components of cover are considered critical. The interfaces between drainage layer and the

underlying non-woven geotextile, the non-woven geotextile and the textured HDPE

geomembrane, and the geomembrane and the clay liner are critical interfaces because of low

3

interface friction angles. The corresponding interface shear strength parameters are given in

Table 1.

3 ANALYSIS

against failure. Conventional ‘grid and radius’ method is used to find the failure slip circle

and the corresponding factor of safety. The factor of safety is evaluated by Morgenstern–

Price method, which satisfies both force and moment equilibrium.

Interfacial sliding stability of the cover system is calculated using finite slope analysis/two-

wedge analysis (Koerner and Soong, 1998). This formulation includes an active wedge, a

passive wedge at the toe and a tension crack at the crest of the slope.

3.2 Conditions of Analysis

The following conditions are analysed for stability of waste mass in both temporary and

permanent waste slopes:

Static slope stability analysis of dry waste mass.

Static slope stability analysis of waste mass with 2m leachate level (above base),

signifying clogging of leachate collection layer in the liner.

Static slope stability analysis of wet waste mass (pore water pressure ratio, ru = 0.2),

without and with leachate level of 2m.

Slope stability analysis of dry and wet waste mass under earthquake (by pseudo-static

method), without and with leachate level of 2m.

For slope stability analyses of permanent cover system, following conditions are analyzed:

Static slope stability analysis of dry cover system.

Static slope stability analysis of cover system with seepage during rain.

Slope stability analysis under earthquake (by pseudo-static method), of dry cover system

and cover system with seepage during rain.

3.3 Minimum Acceptable Factor of Safety (FoS)

The following values of minimum acceptable factor of safety are adopted:

A. Permanent Waste Slope

a. Dry and Wet Waste - 1.5

b. Temporary Clogging (Short Term) - 1.3

c. Rain/Seepage (Short Term) - 1.3

d. Earthquake (Pseudo-static) (Very Short Term) - 1.1

e. Rain/Seepage/Clogging + Earthquake (Very Rare) - 1.05

B. Temporary Waste Slope

b. Temporary Clogging (Short Term) - 1.2

c. Rain/Seepage (Short Term) - 1.2

d. Earthquake (Pseudo-static) (Very Short Term) - 1.1

e. Rain/Seepage/Clogging + Earthquake (Very Rare) - 1.05

The above results show that the permanent waste slope is stable for all condition of analysis,

as the FoS obtained for all conditions are above the acceptable FoS.

4.2 Interface Sliding Stability of Cover System

Table 3 summarizes the results of the finite slope analysis (two-wedge analysis) of the cover

system for the permanent waste slope (1V:4H). To evaluate the effect of seepage-induced

forces during rain, on the stability, various levels of Parallel Submergence Ratio (PSR) are

applied. Pseudo-static slope stability analysis with seismic coefficient of 0.1 is also carried

out for the dry cover system, as well as cover system with seepage during rain.

4.3 Temporary Waste Slope

Tables 4 & 5 summarize the results for stability analysis of 31.8m high temporary waste

slopes of inclinations 1V:2H and 1V:3H, respectively. It is observed that the waste with

temporary slope of 1V:2H is not stable (Table 4), but that with temporary slope of 1V:3H is

stable (Table 5). The critical failure surfaces and the corresponding factor of safety for some

of the conditions are shown in Figs. 8-11.

4.4 Interface Sliding Stability of Base Liner System

Table 6 presents the results of sliding stability of waste along the smooth geomembrane –

clay liner interface for waste height of 31.8m and temporary waste slope of inclination

1V:3H. The results show that the factors of safety for seismic case are less than the minimum

acceptable FoS and thus the waste slope is not stable because the interface shearing angle

between smooth geomembrane and clay is 10 degrees. However, the waste slope is stable for

inclination of 1V:4H as shown in Table 7.

9

When textured geomembrane is used, the interface shearing angle increases to 24 degrees and

the liner stability against sliding is observed to be safe for waste height of 31.8m and

temporary slope of 1V:3H as per results presented in Table 8.

5 CONCLUSIONS

The stability analysis reveals that the final cover system of the landfill having height of

31.8m is stable with proposed side slopes of 1V:4H and berms of 3m width at every 8m

height interval.

The stability analysis also reveals that the base liner system of the landfill is stable for landfill

height of 31.8m for the following cases: (i) temporary waste slope of 1V:3H with berms of

12

2m width at every 8m height when textured geomembrane is used and (ii) temporary waste

slope of 1V:4H with berms of 2m width at every 8m height when smooth geomembrane is

used.
