Several Motives to Bring the Research on Landfill Cap Covers to the Standard of the Researchers about Bottom Liners ABSTRACT: The behavior of the cap barrier (and mainly the sealing layer) in the central area of a landfill where the slope is low, is considered. The main regulations about landfills are concentrated in the present time on the requirements related to the bottom barrier. The cap barrier has also a fundamental function (to limit or to control the humidity of the confined waste). It is shown in this Lecture, which is supported by the presentation of some experimental researches, that meeting this target is really a big challenge and also an important ecological challenge since landfills are an important spring of methane, potent greenhouse gas. First and foremost an in-depth research on the behavior of the confined waste is necessary to demonstrate the technical interest of geo synthetic solutions and also to devise new geo synthetic systems. KEY WORDS: landfill, waste, biodegradation, greenhouse gas, settlement INTRODUCTION Firstly, it’s worth noting that landfills should be considered as a modern technique of treatment of waste, which was moving and developing significantly during the last decade. The main regulations about landfills are concentrated in the present time on the requirements related to the bottom barrier. The cap barrier has also a fundamental function (to limit or to control the humidity of the confined waste). To cover with an efficient cap barrier a waste disposal is a key issue. In a previous Keynote Lecture (Gourc, 2004), the global problem of stability of geosynthetics composite systems used as cap barriers on steep slopes of landfills were considered (Gourc et al, 2008). In the present Lecture, the behavior of the cap (and mainly the sealing liner) in the central area of a landfill is considered. It is demonstrated that an in-depth knowledge of the waste behavior is required before to optimize the concept of the liner. Geo syntheti
