Social Hour: 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM, Dinner: 6:30 PM, Presentation: 7:45 PM

Presenter:
Rudolph Bonaparte, PhD, PE, D.GE, F.ASCE, NAE

The lecture will briefly review several historical U.S. waste fill stability failures and the lessons learned from them. Several failures from the current decade will be reviewed to show how geotechnical engineers are re-learning the earlier lessons, while at the same time there are new lessons to be learned related to evolving waste streams and waste operations practices. The lecture will conclude with an evaluation of the current standard-of-care for U.S. waste fill design, construction, and operation, and with recommendations to improve the practice.
