 Seismic response of landfill

The seismic response of a landfill refers to how a landfill behaves when subjected to seismic (earthquake) forces. Landfills, which are man-made areas used for waste disposal that are designed to contain waste materials, can be significantly affected by seismic events due to their unique physical and mechanical properties. Understanding their seismic response is crucial for assessing the stability and safety of landfills, especially in seismically active regions. Here are some key aspects of seismic response in landfills: ### 1.
