Landslide Hazard Evaluation of a Large Waste Landfill in Bogotá City
摘要
The Doña Juana waste landfill receives solid urban waste from about nine million people living in Bogotá and several nearby municipalities. This article describes the characteristics of this landfill which has suffered some important landslides with serious environmental effects, shows the main geotechnical studies carried out for the characterization of the materials, analyzes the operation and monitoring processes, especially the pore pressures generated by leachate and the results of the landslide hazard evaluation in terms of the probability of failure for static and pseudo-static conditions.
