ANALYSIS OF STABILITY OF SLOPE ON LANDFILL IN DELHI

Abstract

The stabilization of an existing landfill in Delhi, for dry waste has been examined. The conventional method for stabilizing the slope of the dumps is to flatten the slope by pushing the crest inwards or stretching the horizontally oriented slope's toe outward. This is an impractical approach in Delhi due to the scarcity of usable land as landfill heights and volumes are very high, this is not a practical solution. The following elements have been taken into account when conducting a parametric study: (a) Height of landfill (constant), (b) Inclination of landfill (varying), (c) Factor of Safety (FOS). In order to determine the Factor of Safety (FOS) using Geo-Studio, the model is being constructed while maintaining the height of the landfill constant. The study's findings are used to identify an ideal solution. The study demonstrates that for the landfill to be stabilized at a constant height, the slope of the inclination angle must be less than 53°.
