Settlement of MSW:
MSW settles under its own weight and as external loads are placed on the landfill. External loads include daily soil cover, additional waste layers, final cover, and facilities such as buildings and roads. MSW settlement is mainly attributed to(1) physical and mechanical processes that include the reorientation of particles, movement of the fine materials into larger voids, and collapse of void spaces; (2) chemical processes that include corrosion, combustion and oxidation; (3) dissolution processes that consist of dissolving soluble substances by percolating liquids and then forming leachate; and (4) Biological decomposition of organics with time depending on humidity and the amount of organics present in the waste.
intoprimarily carbon dioxide and methane. This conversion results in a loss of solid mass. Most settlement after landfill construction is due to this mechanism. Physical Creep Compression (Including Ravelling/Void Filling): This mechanism is caused by: (1) Erosion and sifting of finer materials into voids between larger particles; (2) Material moving into voids as a result of biodegradation; and (3) Continued elastic compression. Void filling is partly related to a weakening of the support of the solids due to such things as biodegradation and corrosion, which causes a reduction of the rigidity of landfill materials This form of settlement equals about2 percent of the fill height per log cycle of time. For the landfill, physical creep compression was estimated to contribute from 0 to 7 feet of additional settlement over the next 90 years.
where C = compression ratio (coefficient of compressibility); 0 = initial vertical stress; and = change in vertical stress Because the unit weight of a solid waste deposit in a landfillincreases with depth, the overburden pressure at different heightsHi is computed by
(2) Thus, the strain in each lift of the multilayer fill can be expressed bythe equation
(3) where C = coefficient of compressibility; Hi = initial thickness ofthe compacted lift (assumed initially same for all the lifts); i= unit weight of lift i; and j = increment of unit weight imposed by lift j on lift i; and pi and mi stand for primary and mechanical strain, respectively. The primary compression (S(t)pi) can be obtained by S(t)pi = Hj pi(t) S(t)m = H mi(t) (4) Similarly, the mechanical compression (S(t)mi ) attributable to creep, is obtained by (5) where H = initial height of the landfill after primary compression. Eqs. (4) and (5) give the temporal change of primary andmechanical compressions attributable to overlaying layers. Theseequations can be used to compute primary and mechanical settlementwhile assuming constant density, or spatial and temporal variation of density. Model Parameters: Coefficient of Compressibilityand DensityIn Eq. 3, the coefficient of compressibility (C) is used for bothprimary and mechanical strain. The value C is found from the relationship (6)
where C = compressive index; eo = initial void ratio of the solidwaste; and t = time after landfill closure (years).The compressive index C is primarily dependent on the voidratio and is obtained from the slope of the void ratio versus log-timecurve. The following range is provided for estimating the compressiveindex: C= (0.15 to 0.55)eo for primary compression; (0.03 to 0.09)eo for secondary compression The value of C is different for primary and mechanical compression. The coefficient of compressibility for primarycompression lies in the range 0.10.5, whereas secondary compressionlies in the range 0.0120.08. The variation of refuse density with depth (z) is computed by the method of Manna et al. using Eq. (7) Pz = Pm+(Pm P0) ((z/z + )) where Po = starting value of the density; Pm= maximum density value corresponding to infinite load; and = numerical coefficient. Once the density is known by Eq. (7), the unit weight of thesolid waste is calculated by multiplying the acceleration due togravity (g) with density. The temporal variation of the unit weightis then obtained by (7)
(8) Where (t) = required unit weight at time t (days) and i = initial unit weight of the refuse. Density varies from 600694 kg/m3 during activefilling, whereas the maximum density observed is in the range11861653 kg/m3.
starting value of the density Po is taken as 600 kg/m3; the maximum density Pm is taken as 1; 350 kg/m3; and a numeric coefficient is taken as 12.4. These values were taken after thorough sensitivity analysis and are used by many researchers, as shown in following tables.
In the second scenario, primary compression, Eq. 8 is used to calculate temporal variation of density. Furthermore, for mechanical compression, spatial and temporal variation of density is calculated using Eqs. 7 and 8. The values C, Po, Pm, are the same as in mechanical compression, as previously describedResults are shown in following table
