This book summarises the results of 27 research projects carried out within a DM15 million integrated research programme in Germany. The results show that the mechanical properties of earthen and cut-off materials can be improved and that testing methods and apparatus are available for the determination of critical values. The research programme provides a deeper understanding of the performance of construction materials and the long-term behaviour of landfill liners and this will all help in the future design of safer landfills.
