The connection design of anti-seepage system engineering materials should meet the following requirements:
Arrange the position of each piece of material rationally and minimize seams.
Choose the right laying direction to reduce joint stress.
The seams should avoid corners.
There must be no horizontal joints on slopes with a gradient greater than 10% and within 1.5 meters from the toe of the slope toward the bottom of the field.
Anchor trenches should be set up to connect the material with the surrounding natural environment.

The setting of anchor trench in landfill should meet the following requirements:
Conform to actual terrain conditions.
The height and length of the slopes surrounding the landfill should not exceed the limits in the table.
| Slope Ratio | 1:≥1.2 | 1:1.2 – 1:3 | 1:1.3 – 1:4 | 1:1.4 – 1:5 | 1:<1.5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Limit Height (m) | 10 | 15 | 18 | 21 | <12 |
| Limit Length (m) | 22.5 | 40 | 50 | 55 | 60 |
The design of the anchor trench should meet the following requirements:
The distance between the anchor trench and the slope edge should not be less than 800mm.
The anti-seepage system engineering materials should not have any right-angled rigid structures at the turning points; all should be made into curved structures.
The cross-section of the anchor trench should be calculated based on the anchoring method and actual conditions. It should not be less than 800mm x 800mm.
