Landfills

The landfill is a site used for the disposal of waste materials. The landfill is a solid waste facility that is often known as a dumping ground. The image below shows a landfill site in Hawaii. Landfilling is the most ancient and common method used for the disposal of waste. For the landfill, a deep trench is constructed in an isolated place away from the city. The trench for landfills is designed properly after analyzing the total population and the waste generation per capita. The waste is dumped into the trench and after every layer of waste, a layer of soil is spread on the top of it.

In a proctor test, 1.8 kg of moist soil was filled in the mould (volume = 944 cc) after compaction. A soil sample weighting 23 g was taken from the mould and oven dried for 24 hours at a temperature of 110°C. The weight of the dry sample was found to be 20 g. The specific gravity of soil solids is G = 2.7. The theoretical maximum value of the dry unit weight of the soil at that water content is equal to
