Mechanical behaviour of the waste body controls many aspects of landfill lining system
design and performance, including stability issues and integrity of the geosynthetic and …

A conceptual framework for the analysis of settlement and other processes in landfilled
waste in relation to coupled hydraulic, biodegradation and mechanical behaviour is …

This paper presents a thermo-hydro-biochemo-mechanical model for simulating the long
term behavior of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in a bioreactor landfill, in which the multi …

To ensure stability of a construction both the properties and mechanical behaviour of its
components have to be well known. In a landfill, waste presents the largest structural …

Parameters about composition of refuse such as mass percentage of biodegradable matter,
volatile solid, organic carbon, cellulose, total sugar, and settlement were monitored and …

The proper engineering of landfill bioreactors requires their operation in a manner that
maximizes waste decomposition and gas generation while making use of the settlement that …

Conceptual modelling of municipal solid waste landfills is vital for prognosis of the long-term
development and the assessment of risk potential. Landfills are considered as …

As organic solid waste is decomposed in a landfill and mass is lost due to gas and leachate
formation, the landfill settles. Settlement of a landfill interferes with the rehabilitation and …

Many closed municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills are located near urban areas, even
though originally established away from residential or commercial communities …
