Abstract

The paper presents the results of reliability assessment of the suitability of two tropical soils (laterite and clay sand) for use as liner materials in waste containment application. The evaluation was based on the use of compositional variables (moulding water content relative to optimum, hydraulic conductivity, initial saturation, plasticity index, clay content and compactive effort) using the First Order Reliability Method (FORM) version 5. The results of the study revealed the variation of reliability indices as the coefficient of variation (COV) for the independent variables increases using the normal and lognormal distributions. Three compactive efforts of standard Proctor (SP), West African standard (WAS) and modified Proctor (MP) were considered. The predictive model was developed with a view to assessing the safety of the hydraulic barrier for waste containment facilities.
