Abstract
The paper presents issues related to the failure of construction elements on landfills. The study investigates threats deriving from landfills, which are the result of emergency events. It reviews landfill failures of different types, showing how they may affect the natural environment, human health and safety. The research is aimed at identifying the causes of these events and at presenting the schedule of remedial works and methods of removing the effects of failures occurring in a selected landfill. Based on the analysis, the use of the geophysical testing method to identify the origin and extent of the failure has been demonstrated as a method crucial for the design of repair works.
Highlights
Analyses of causes of structure failures and disasters have been performed all around the world since many years
The results revealed that the acceptable concentration values are exceeded by as much as five times for electric conductivity (EC) and 50 times for total organic carbon (TOC), for the III water class requirements
Within a range of repairing works, it was recommended to investigate the insulation of those elements and to create a hydraulic barrier collecting the pollutants by pumping it using piezometer P-2 and transfer it to the leachate reservoir
Summary
Analyses of causes of structure failures and disasters have been performed all around the world since many years. The safety of structures depends mainly on legal frameworks and requirements, that needs improvement and form changes [1-3]. They should be aimed at the increase of construction process and exploitation safety. Even best legal regulations will not eliminate errors caused by human factors This is why the highest quality standards presented by designers, constructors, administrators and owners are crucial for preventing structure failures and disasters. Https://doi.org/10.10 51/matecconf /20192840300 2 drainage systems, appropriate location, repairs and elimination of failure causes are crucial tasks in structure design [11]. This would certainly help preventing errors during maintenance of sites demanding such strict safety regulations
