GEOSYNTHETICS COVER SYSTEM FOR THE REMEDIATION OF A DISMISSED INDUSTRIAL SITE IN MILANO

摘要

The paper describes a case history where an old factory site was redeveloped for a new intended use,following a reclamation of the related contaminated area; in particular, the design criteria followed to select geosynthetics that could be approved equivalent to the natural materials that were substituting (clay and gravel) are outlined, as well as the choice of the type of geosynthetics that could guarantee the stability of a top soil layer 0.40 m thick on a steep slope, allowing in the same time the presence of the trees planted on the slope itself.
