Project Description

This work studied the use of lightweight landfill since the load capacity of the existing soils was quite weak. The alluvial soils of the Tagus are composed of layers of mud and clay formations with reduced load capacity. The solution was to make a light landfill, so as to avoid large loads on the existing soil.
