Assessment of The Geotechnical Properties of Municipal Solid Waste and Its Effect on The Surrounding Soil: A Review

Due to rapid growing of population and active lifestyle, massive amounts municipal solid waste (MSW) are produced worldwide. The MSW can harm the environment threaten land if dumping sites not managed scientifically. geotechnical properties key parameters required in landfill operations management facilities. Hence, presence data assist engineers selecting possible solutions for extension obtaining prior background evaluation design landfills. disposal changes soil. Also, alterations soils may contribute physical physico-chemical interactions between soil contaminants sites. As leachate, which is generated by waste, penetrates into soil, it moves pollutants influences strength stability main objective this research summarize most recent literature mechanical MSW, their influence on findings numerous investigations characteristics influenced presented discussed. Depending reviewed studies, be observed that engineering complicated varied various reasons. components degradation process cause an increase moisture content unit weight, a decrease organic content, hydraulic conductivity compressibility MSW. Additionally, significantly impact underlain surrounding deteriorate quality. Further, was noticed reduced with depth due less interaction
