A constitutive model is proposed to describe the stress-strain behavior of municipal solid waste (MSW) under loading using the critical state soil mechanics framework. The modified cam clay model is extended to incorporate the effects of mechanical creep and time dependent biodegradation to calculate total compression under loading. Model parameters are evaluated based on one-dimensional compre...

The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of municipal solid waste incinerator (MSWI) bottom ash (BA) codisposed with municipal solid waste (MSW) on landfill stabilization according to the leachate quality in terms of organic matter and nitrogen contents. Six simulated landfills, that is, three conventional and three recirculated, were employed with different ratios of MSWI BA to MSW. ...

This paper describes the development of a design chart for the estimation of maximum horizontal displacement within a municipal landfill using the height and the side slope of the landfill. The design chart is based on the results of a finite element parametric study in which the behaviour of the municipal solid waste (MSW) was modeled using a non-linear elastic hyperbolic model. The model inpu...

The municipal solid waste (MSW) remains a great challenge in most cities of developing countries, as the majority generated is either not collected or dumped open uncontrolled non-engineered landfill sites, creating significant pollution due to leakage leachate surrounding environment. In complete transition zero-landfill scenario less likely happen near future various socio-economic challenges...

The use of robots for surface methane concentration (SMC) monitoring at municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills has the potential to improve quality of data acquisition for fugitive methane measurement over current practices. Methane concentrations vary significantly, both spatially and temporally, across a MSW landfill. However, current monitoring methods do not necessarily account for these sig...

The selection of a landfill site is considered as a complicated task because this process is based on many factors and restrictions. For Al-Qasim Qadhaa, which is situated in the southern part of the Babylon Governorate, Iraq, there is no landfill site in that area that conforms to the scientific criteria for selecting sites for landfill. For this reason, 15 criteria were adopted in this study ...

Disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW) is one the significant global issues that more evident in developing nations. One key methods for disposing MSW locating, assessing, and planning landfill sites. Faisalabad largest industrial cities Pakistan. It has many sustainability challenges problems, including management. This study uses as a case area humbly attempts to provide framework identifyin...

This paper presents an examination of MSW generation and composition in China, providing an overview of the current state of MSW management, an analysis of existing problems in MSW collection, separation, recycling and disposal, and some suggestions for improving MSW systems in the future. In China, along with urbanization, population growth and industrialization, the quantity of municipal soli...
