Abstract
The record of performance of landfills in earthquakes is excellent. However, the advent of geosynthetic liner and cover systems has increased the susceptibility of modern landfills to seismically-induced instability and deformations. Analyses used to assess the performance of landfills in earthquakes include site response, limit equilibrium stability, and Newmark deformation analyses. Well documented case histories of the behavior of landfills subject to seismic loading are necessary to improve knowledge of the parameters required for these analyses and thereby enhance the reliability of seismic performance evaluations for landfills.
