In 1 ‘. the T wn of Brookhaven, NY began investigating the possibility of constructing an expansion of one portion of therr . mumc1pal solld waste landfill. 1be town’s consulting engineers, Wehran EnviroTech of Middletown NY
pro a unique horizontal expansion design which incorporated the use of a geogrld reinforced liner system which wmtld be
b ed between the old and new was . Because of its placement in the landfill cross-section it was anticipated that the geogrld remi:orcement would be exPQ8e(l to high temperatures caused by the anaerobic decomposition of the municipal solid waste. It was important, therefore, that a geogrld be chosen that would retain its high modulus at elevated temperatures over the life of the
project.
s paper . presents a study on a . design and post construction quality control methodology for incorporating geogrid remforced lmer systems 111 areas where high temperature considerations are a major factor.
