Abstract

Coastal landfills are common, particularly in metropolitan areas in Japan, because only limited inland spaces are available for waste disposal. Adequate land use after the closure of such landfills is expected because new land space is actually created due to reclamation. However, several barriers to promote such land use exist from geotechnical, environmental, social, institutional, and financial aspects. This paper provides a brief summary of the current situation of coastal landfills particularly on land use. Environmental suitability has been a great concern, especially when pile foundations are installed on landfill sites to reach the supporting layer beneath the clay layer that functions as a barrier layer. An experimental research program is also presented in this paper, in which a rigid-wall permeameter to measure the leakage between sidewall and clay has been developed to simulate the potential water flow along the pile surface. Experimental results show that the installation of piles into normally consolidated clays is an environmentally acceptable practice from the viewpoint of minimization of water flow along the pile surface.
