Popis: In the present study, a hazardous waste (HW) landfill on a sloping ground is considered. The base profile of the landfill exhibited significant elevation difference from one end to the other. Due to the inclined base and fixed waste footprint area, the waste retaining capacity of the landfill decreases significantly in comparison to a same plain base area. As a consequence, an engineered berm is provided at the lower end to act as a stabilizing berm and also to increase the waste filling space.
