Table 1 - Modeled Geotechnical Characteristics <br />Notes <br />1. ESSA: Effective Stress Stability Analysis (long-term conditions) <br />2. The fully -softened shear strength is a peak drained strength envelope that simulates the swelling and softening of a <br />medium stiff or stiffer, fissured clay. These are initially modeled parameters. <br />3. The fully -softened strength was used for the refuse in all cases; material for lab test was pulverized by ball milling; fully - <br />softened strength envelope used because as -received material classified as "Silty Gravel with Sand" in the lab based on grain <br />size analysis <br />4. The residual shear strength is a large -strain drained strength envelope that applies to previously sheared clays. These are <br />initially modeled parameters. <br />5. Assumed <br />6.
