ASPHALT AS MATERIAL FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF LANDFILLS FOR DOMESTIC WASTES

In Germany the deposition of domestic wastes is regulated by legal rules. Landfills must have lining systems at their base. By means of special tests it could be shown that lining systems with asphalt concrete as material are resistant to hydraulic abrasion by solvents as well as to convective and diffusive permeability by aggresive fluids if they fulfill certain requirements or their composition and own void contents up to 3.0 v-%. Doubling of the thickness of the asphalt sealing layer quintuples the induction time until the first egress of solvent and reduces the diffusion rate with a factor of 1/5. For the covering abstract see ITRD E107185.
