Design Calculators - Landfill Access Ramp

For below-grade landfills, access ramps must be built above the complete liner system. Design calculations are necessary to ensure the stability of the access road, adequacy of the drainage and protection of the geomembrane liner underneath.

• Stability of Landfill Access Ramp: This calculator evaluates the sliding of the ramp. The stability of the ramp is verified under static and dynamic loads.
  
  
• Hydraulic Design: This calculator verifies whether the ramp will adequately drain surface water.
  
  • Calculate the run-on for a design storm.
    
  • Evaluate the drain capacity of the ramp section.
    
  • Increase the thickness, or transmissivity, or design a flow channel if required.
    
    
• Geomembrane Protection: This calculator verifies that wheel loading will not damage the geomembrane.
