Abstract
Potential hazards facing landfill site developers are gas production, attack of building materials and subsidence. At some sites successful development may be possible provided that buildings are designed to overcome these problems. Design criteria are given with particular emphasis being placed on methods for preventing gas ingress. Examples of suitable buildings, which have been erected in the U.K. and the U.S.A. are given.Keywords
