Development of a technical management tool for settlement and stability behaviour of municipal solid waste landfills
Landfilling is a common method of disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW). Landfills are engineered structures consisting of bottom liners, leachate collection and removal systems, and final covers. With an expanding world and the remarkable growth of industry, the demand for larger and higher …

Mechanics of biocell landfill settlements
Prediction of landfill gas generation and settlements are of concerns in design and maintenance of biocell landfills. Accurate settlement prediction is essential for design of piping systems used for the delivery of re-circulated leachate and recovery of landfill gas. Landfill settlement is the …

CHALLENGES IN TRACKING THE DEGRADATION OF LANDFILLED MSW THROUGH LABORATORY AND NUMERICAL MEANS
Landfilling is one of the primary methods utilized for the long-term disposal and treatment of municipal solid waste (MSW) in Canada. The decay of landfilled MSW will govern several other ongoing landfill processes, such as heat generation, gas generation and biologically induced landfill …

Modeling biodegradation settlement of municipal solid waste (msw) based on measurement of landfill gas and degradable solids in leachate recirculated bioreactors
… laboratory-to-field relationship for bioreactor landfills. Biodegradation is best described by loss of mass; however, primary researchers have assumed the phenomenon to be purely volume loss and modeled best by mechanical processes using a conservation of energy approach. It is suggested that the …

Inter-relationship of mechanical and bio-chemical processes governing the settlement of municipal solid waste (MSW) using the (C +H)/L ratio
… the rates and magnitudes of consolidation and settlement of solid waste materials dependent upon their actual state of biodegradation decomposition and time in place. The state of decomposition of waste is determined by measuring its cellulose plus hemicellulose to lignin ratio ((C + H)/L). The …
