Abstract

Anchored trenches are designed to resist the sliding action, pullout, contraction and upliftment of the cover materials that are caused due to self-weight, pullout loads, temperature variations and wind action respectively. The shear strength properties of MSW slopes are highly variable due to waste decomposition with time. Therefore careful anchor trench analysis must be performed in order to model parameter uncertainty. This paper pertains to a study on the reliability evaluation of three types of anchor trenches (simple runout, rectangular and L shaped) for MSW slopes under a probabilistic framework. It is shown that L-shaped anchor trenches are more effective than the simple runout and rectangular anchor trenches.
