Executive Summary | Waste disposal sites along the coast in Japan are usually constructed on the thick clay ground, which has sufficient cutoff performance against the seepage from the bottom. Vertical seawalls of steel sheet piles or pipe sheet piles, as an impervious wall as well as a retaining structure, are considered one of the most useful methods for the landfill, because the walls can be embedded deeply into the impervious seabed. |
