일반적으로 일반 및 유해폐기물 매립지에서 진흙층의 기능적 수행목적은 다음과 같다고 할 수 있다. 지표면 유출의 증진을 위하고, 우수의 침투억제 및 폐기물의 표면 노출 시 완충작용, 따라서 최종복토의 붕괴는 이러한 중요 기능을 마비시키고 있다. 본 연구는 추운 날씨상태의 폐기물 매립지 최종복토의 거동을 수행하였으며, 실제로 설계된 세 개의 거대한 실험실 Tank에서 복토에 대한 실험이 시행되었다. 이 거대한 실험장비의 제원은 0.75m x 2.4m와 2.0m 깊이로 되어 있다. Tank안은 시방서적으로 폐기물 매립지가 요구하는 진흙층과 최종복토를 위한 물질로 채워졌다. 그들의 실험결과는 동질/융해에 따른 진흙과 복토층의 붕괴현상은 물리적, 공학적인 측면에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 본문은 실험에 사용된 복토층의 묘사, 그들의 실험결과들과 실험을 통한 결과분석 및 결론을 설명하고 있다. 실험결과로서는 각 모형들의 우수와 침출수 자료, 온도변화의 배경과 최종복토에서의 Water Balance를 포함하고 있다. 또한 결과로서 시험된 세 개의 모형들은 매립지에서의 동결깊이(29cm~32cm)를 나타내주며 그들 중 하나의 모형은 배수층을 가지고 있어 침출수억제에 효과적이므로 다른 모형보다 복토층으로서 우위에 있다는 것을 지적하고 있다.

The cover liners at municipal and hazardous waste landfill is not emphasized as much as the bottom liners. However, one of the most effective reason of landfill destroy is the cover liner failure. The cover system at municipal and hazardous waste landfill, 1 perform the following functions, at minimum: promote surface runoff, impede infiltration, protect settlement in the landfill, and provide a buffer from surface exposure of the waste. This research was to expand the existing knowledge base of landfill cover liner behavior during period of freeze/thaw Also, the great Lysimeter was built in the laboratory to provide as much as same condition with the field and three designs were simulated by actual cover materials. The result of simulation indicated the clay was effected by freezing/thawing. The degradation of cover liners in the frost penetration affects the physical, engineering properties of clay. these factors may consider to design and construct of the landfill. This paper provides the description of testing cover liners, experimental results and a discussion of the results of the simulation.

매립지에서 배출되는 메탄가스는 이산화탄소에 이어 두 번째로 많이 배출되는 지구온난화 가스이지만 열을 흡수하는 능력에 있어서는 이산화탄소 보다 25에서 35배 정도 더 크기 때문에 지구 온난화 현상에 대한 메탄가스의 영향은 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 매립지로부터 배출되는 메탄가스는 호기성 상태의 매립지 복토층을 통과 할 때 산화될 수 있으므로 매립지 복토층은 메탄가스의 배출을 저감시키는 바이오필터의 역할을 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 batch 실험을 통하여 매립지 복토층에서의 메탄산화속도에 대한 토양수분과 온도의 영향을 연구하였다. 최대 산화속도는 토양수분 15%(w/w), 배양온도 $35^{\circ}C$의 환경조건에서 $1.03{\mu}mol\;CH_4g^{-1}soil\;h^{-1}$으로 나타났다. 이러한 실험결과를 이용하여 토양수분과 온도를 함수로 하는 회귀모형을 개발하였다. 또한 전국에 4 군데 지역을 선발하여 각 지역의 토양수분과 온도 데이타를 수집하고 개발된 모형을 이용하여 각 지역에 위치하고 있는 매립장에서의 월 평균 메탄산화량을 예측하였다. 예측 결과 환경조건이 양호한 지역의 매립지 복토는 메탄의 배출량을 저감시킬 수 있는 효율적인 바이오필터의 효과를 가지지만 환경조건이 불리한 지역의 매립지 복토에서는 바이오필터의 효과가 크지 않는다고 할 수 있다.

In Korea, it is required to install the final cover layer immediately after the end of use of the waste landfill, and to conduct aftercare for 30 years. However, the installation of the final cover layer minimizing the penetration of the rainfall will delay the decomposition of the buried organic wastes and reduce the amount of pollutants released into the leachate. Therefore, at the end of the aftercare period, pollutants might be discharged and cause the pollution of the surrounding environment. In this study, using lab-scale lysimeters, the amount of pollutants discharged into the leachate was observed. At the initial stage, same artificial rainfall was injected, and after 7 months later, different reduced artificial rainfall was injected for 8.4 months assuming as the final soil layer was installed. From the results, it was advantageous in terms of environmental management after the end of the aftercare period to install a temporary cover layer that permits the infiltration of rainfall to some extent rather than to install the final cover layer immediately after the end of use of the waste landfill.

In the case of domestic general waste landfills, cumulated leachate level is often formed in the landfill due to the waste of high moisture content and it becomes important to characterize the hydraulic properties of the disposed waste. Although many hydrologic studies have been peformed for leachate barriers and pheriperal subsurface environments, few studies have been done to investigate the hydraulic property of the disposed waste and cover soils and to analyse the leachate flow behavior within landfills. In this paper, the geotechnical properties of the waste and buried cover soils are identified through the field experiment including pumping and slug tests. The results of various tests show that the field density of the cover soils is somewhat higher than the maximum laboratory density of cover soils and the vertical flow of leachate and gas in the landfill is prevented by the buried cover soils. The hydraulic conductivities of field pumping test and slug tests are well matched and stayed in the range of hydraulic conductivities of well compacted wastes in the literature.

The one of the most important concerns in the design of the final cover system is to restrict percolation of water into the waste body. To minimize entering the water, the final cover system has the barrier layer that consists of a single compacted clay liner(CCL) or a composite liner with high density polyethylene(HDPE) overlying CCL. The HDPE as well as CCL can be damaged by landfill settlements. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess the effects of HDPE induced by settlements in the final cover system after closure. The results of the three test that is field test, lysimeter test in laboratory, and prediction of settlement represent that the HDPE in the final cover system is not pretty much affected by settlements and stable on settlements.

In order to investigate the applicability and suitability of the industrial by-products to apply mono-layer cover system for non-sanitary landfill sites, 6 different industrial by-products, such as construction waste, bottom ash, gypsum, blast furnace and steel manufacture slags, and stone powder sludge, were evaluated. Various physicochemical and hydrodynamic properties of the industrial byproducts were investigated. The environmental safety was monitored using batch and long-term leaching tests as well. In addition, the flexibility of plants was observed by cultivating them in the industrial by-products. The results for physicochemical properties indicate that most of the materials considered appeared to be suitable for landfill cover. Particularly, the concentration levels of hazardous elements regulated by the Korean Law for Waste Management did not exceed the regulatory limits in all target materials. In addition, the concentrations of regulated elements for the Korean Soil Conservation Law were examined below the regulatory limits in most of materials considered, except for the stone powder sludge. The results of batch and long-term experiments showed bottom ash and construction waste were the most suitable materials for landfill cover among the industrial by-products considered. The results of plant studies indicate that the bottom ash among industrial by-products considered was most effective in developing vegetation on landfill site, showing fast germination and large growth index. At the final covering system made of mixture of soil and bottom ash, the optimum application rate of farmyard manure was observed to be 40-50 Mg/ha.

The industrial waste is becoming a big problem in the aspect of spatial and environmental in domestic and international. Therefore, the waste reduction and recycling policy has been being implemented as a way to solve this problem. The engineered stone sludge, which is waste, is generated duing the engineered stone production process. since engineered stone sludge is mostly treated by landfill, an increase in the amount of the sludge leads to an increase in landfill sites and treatment costs. therefore, there is a need for a method of resourcization with engineered stone sludge. So, laboratory tests (Plastic and liquid limits, compaction, unconfined compression and permeability test) were conducted to confirm the possibility of using engineered stone sludge mixed with weathered granite soil as a cover material for landfill in this study. The result shows that the mixed soil material with less that 62.5% of engineered stone sludge can be used as a cover material for landfill.

This paper is going to show the way we can sample the landfill gases flowing out to the air through final cover soil by using an closed chamber in the field for a short time. In addition, we came to the following results through the application of model with actual measurements. 1) Analyzing changes of concentration in the chamber(H: 10-30cm) every 5 minutes, considering analysis time of gas chromatograph for an half hour. 2) The proportion of $CE_4$to $CO_2$changes rapidly near the surface of final cover soil by the influence of methane oxidation reaction. 3) When flux of landfill gas is F=$10^{-5}$mol/$\textrm{m}^2$.s), methane oxidation reaction has an influence on composition of gases, however there is little influence when F=$10^{-6}$ mol/($\textrm{m}^2$.s).

매립장 내의 설치된 중간 복토층(intermediate cover)은 매립 도중 혹은 매립완료 후 종종 침출수가 하부의 침출수 집배수관으로 이동하는 것을 막아 매립장 내에 일정 침출수위를 형성시킨다. 이렇듯 중간 복토층은 침출수의 원활한 순환을 막아 매립장 바닥에 형성되어야 하는 침출수위가 중간복토층 위에 형성되도록 하는데, 이는 매립장의 구조적 안정성을 깨뜨리고 주변으로 침출수 누출을 유발시키게 된다. 본 연구에서는 이처럼 중간복토층 상부에 형성된 침출수위를 저하시키기 위하여, 폐기물 매립시 중간복토층에 투수성이 뛰어나고 역학적 강도와 화학적 내구성을 갖는 배수파일(Drain Pile)을 설치할 것을 제안하였다. 배수파일은 중간복토층 상부에 형성될 수 있는 침출수를 매립장 바닥으로 배수시키고, 침출수 집배수정으로 이송이 가능하게 만든다. 또한 배수파일은 매립장 내부에 설치됨으로써 폐기물의 자체 강성을 증가시키고, 동시에 매립장의 측방유동을 막아 구조적 안정성을 확보하는 효과도 기대할 수 있다. 실내시험을 통해 배수파일 충진재로서 굴패각의 활용가능성을 확인한 결과, 산업 폐기물인 굴패각이 침출수의 pH를 중화시키고 유해물질인 NH$_{4}$$^{+}$를 제거하는데 효과적임을 확인할 수 있었다. 한편, 실제현장의 침출수흐름을 모사하기 위해 범용 프로그램(SEEP/W)을 이용하여 매립지 내에서 배수 파일의 효과를 확인하였다.
