The effects of compression and decomposition on the water retention curve (WRC) and
unsaturated hydraulic conductivity (K θ) of municipal solid waste (MSW) were evaluated in …

Constitutive models developed for describing the water retention curve (WRC) and
unsaturated hydraulic conductivity (Kθ) of soil are parameterized for MSW. Samples of …

Laboratory and field-scale tests were conducted to determine the saturated hydraulic
conductivity (K s) of fresh and degraded municipal solid waste (MSW) at multiple dry unit …

The science of understanding fluid flow in waste materials is both complicated and in a state
of evolution. In general, however, it is possible to apply soil mechanics and hydrogeological …

A multi-layered final cover system is constructed over the landfill after it reaches its full
capacity to minimize water ingress into the underlying hazardous waste. Three layered …

Numerical models of landfill processes need to be able to estimate the capillary pressure
and relative permeability of waste as a function of moisture content using analytical …

In examining potential host rocks for such purposes as the disposal of high-level radioactive
wastes, it is important to understand the coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) behavior …

A study was conducted to evaluate methods for parameterizing constitutive functions
describing the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity (Kθ) and water retention curve (WRC) for …

In this thesis a model for the complex interactions between deformation, degradation and
transport processe in municipal solid waste landfills is presented. Key aspects of the model …

A two-phase liquid/gas flow numerical model has been used to investigate the presence of
elevated pore water pressures in a 20-m-deep municipal solid wastes (MSW) landfill …
