The behavior of the Gimpo #2 landfill, which is an active landfill and the largest in Korea, is analyzed using field measurement data obtained from various field instruments installed within the landfill. The data included in this analysis are the leachate head within the landfill, waste load data using soil pressure plate and settlement data from settlement plate on the surface of the waste of each stage fill including the settlement of the soft foundation clay soil. Landfill blocks are selected both near the embankment and in the center area of the landfill. The analysis of the field-monitored data showed that the leachate head increase was negligible near the embankment. It was significant in the central block as the waste loads increase and reached 15 m at the fourth stage of waste disposal. The reason that the leachate head is higher in the central block than near the embankment is due to the long drainage path and the loss of gradient of drain pipes. The range of unit weight of the waste converted from the measurement data of earth pressure cell was 0.91–1.24 t/m3 and the average value was 1.05 t/m3. The values reflect well the waste compositions recently buried in GML #2, since from 1998 the waste disposed in GML #2 did not contain food waste. The magnitude of final settlements that occurred in each stage loading of 5 m thickness in the peripheral block was very close to 120 cm. The settlement rate of the waste by dividing the thickness of waste was 24 %. This rate can be divided into 10 % by waste loading and 14 % by waste decomposition. The delay of settlements is recognized in each waste layer for second and third loading in the central block due to the accumulation of leachate within the landfill. 相似文献

Behavior of a municipal landfill from field measurement data during a waste-disposal period 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
The behavior of a municipal waste landfill on marine clay was analyzed from field measurement data. Instruments, e.g., a groundwater level sensor, piezometer, earth pressure gauge, settlement plates, inclinometer, etc., were installed and operated during the disposal period from October 1992 to November 2000. A database system was developed to manage the data from this landfill using Access (Microsoft) with Delphi programs. From the analyses, it was determined that the settlement of the landfill during the initial period of waste disposal was small because of the high leachate level in the landfill. As the level of waste became higher than the leachate level, the settlement of the landfill increased significantly due to the increasing effective pressure within the landfill. From a stability point of view, the critical time for the landfill in this study was the initial period of landfill disposal, which was caused by either the impact load of waste disposal or the time schedule of waste disposal, which was faster than the consolidation of foundation clay caused by the waste load. 相似文献

考虑填埋场沉降和生物降解作用下的孔隙度仿真预测研究 总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5
垃圾填埋场上覆层的压缩以及自身的降解作用使内部孔隙结构发生了改变。沉降和生物化学反应的双重作用改变了填埋场原有孔隙度分布。将垃圾压缩变形和微生物降解所引起的产气过程相结合,建立了描述填埋场孔隙度-位移-气体压力相互作用的耦合数学模型,并给出了耦合模型的数值格式。通过数值计算得到了垃圾填埋体的沉降应变、孔隙度、孔隙渗透及扩散特性的变化规律。计算结果表明,填埋场运营前10年垃圾降解对孔隙度作用较明显,孔隙度呈线性增大,随后增大幅度减缓,达到峰值后逐渐减小,减小过程主要受垃圾沉降作用影响;不同成分的有机质含量对孔隙度的影响也存在差异;受有机质降解作用的影响,填埋约为190个月时固有渗透率可达到1.4 10-12 m2,Dg/D0可达到0.178。因此,开展填埋场沉降和生物降解作用下孔隙度的预测研究,对于评价填埋气体的有效控制以及填埋场安全指标体系的完善都具有重要的现实意义。 相似文献

Summary Finite element analyses were conducted to investigate the magnitude of tensile strains imposed on landfill liners due to the
formation of subsurface cavities. The study incorporated the significance of using geogrids to reduce the magnitude of strains
and possibly the potential for collapse of landfill liners. Variations of key parameters included depth of overburden (D) and diameter of the cavity (B). Estimated stress distributions were compared to theoretical values obtained from a model reported in the literature.
Results indicated that, contrary to conventional wisdom, the critical area based on the mechanics of arching was above the
edge of the cavity where stress concentration occurred. Incorporation of geogrid reinforcement reduced the magnitude of tensile
strains. The tensile force in the geogrid was dependent upon the size of the cavity, the depth of the overburden, and the
applied pressure. 相似文献

A bioreactor landfill is operated to enhance refuse decomposition, gas production, and waste stabilization. Some of the potential
advantages of bioreactor include rapid stabilization of waste, increased landfill gas generation, gain in landfill space,
enhanced leachate treatment, and reduced post closure maintenance period. Due to the accelerated decomposition and settlement
of solid waste, bioreactor landfills are gaining popularity as an alternative to the conventional Subtitle D landfills. However,
the addition of leachate to accelerate the decomposition changes the physical and engineering characteristic of waste and
therefore affects the geotechnical characteristics of waste mass. The changes in the physical and mechanical characteristics
of solid waste with time and decomposition are expected to affect the shear strength of waste mass. The objective of this
paper is to analyze the stability of solid waste slopes within the bioreactor landfills, as a function of time and decomposition.
The finite element program PLAXIS is used for numerical modeling of bioreactor landfills. Stability analysis of bioreactor
landfills was also performed using limit equilibrium program STABL. Finally the results from finite element program PLAXIS
and limit equilibrium program STABL are compared. GSTABL predicted a factor of safety of more than 1 in all the cases analyzed,
whereas PLAXIS predicted a factor of safety of less than 1 at advanced stages for a slope of 2:1. However, the interface failures
between solid waste and landfill liners have not been considered in this paper. 相似文献

Investigation of solid waste soil as road construction material 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The geotechnical properties of solid waste soils for use as sub-base materials in road construction were investigated. A series of field tests and laboratory tests were performed to assess the physical and mechanical properties of the solid waste soils sampled from a landfill site, near to a riverside, which had been reclaimed over the last two decades. The tests showed that geotechnical properties are clearly affected by the magnitude of organic matter content. As the organic matter content increases, the maximum dry unit weight, the shear strength and bearing capacity of ground decrease, while the void ratio and compressibility increase. If the organic matter content is more than about 8% in solid waste soils, it is not suitable for use as a sub-base material in road construction due to the significant decrease of shear strength and bearing capacity. 相似文献

Landfill has been taken to the bottom of the hierarchy of options for waste disposal but has been the most used method for urban solid waste disposal. However, landfill has become more difficult to implement because of its increasing cost, community opposition, and more restrictive regulations regarding the siting and operation of landfills. Land is a finite and scarce resource that needs to be used wisely. Appropriate allocation of landfills involves the selection of areas that are suitable for waste disposal. The present work describes a type of multi-criteria evaluation (MCE) method called weighted linear combination (WLC) in a GIS environment to evaluate the suitability of the study region for landfill. The WLC procedure is characterized by full tradeoff among all factors, average risk and offers much flexibility than the Boolean approaches in the decision making process. The relative importance weights of factors are estimated using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP). In the final aggregated suitability image, zones smaller than 20 hectares are eliminated from the allocation process. Afterwards, the land suitability of a zone is determined by calculating the average of the suitability of the cells belonging to that zone, a process called zonal land suitability. The application of the presented method to the Gorgan city (Iran) indicated that there are 18 zones for landfill with their zonal land suitability varying from 155.426117 to 64.149024. The zones were ranked in descending order by the value of their zonal land suitability. The results showed the use of GIS as a decision support system (DSS) available to policy makers and decision makers in municipal solid waste (MSW) management issues. 相似文献

垃圾土渗透性和持水性的试验研究 总被引：5，自引：2，他引：3
通过室内常水头试验测定了垃圾土的饱和渗透系数,通过室内压力板仪试验测得垃圾土的土-水特征曲线。基于土-水特征曲线预测了垃圾土的非饱和渗透系数,并通过室内入渗试验进行了初步验证。常水头试验得到深层、中层和浅层垃圾土的饱和渗透系数分别为3.56×10-4、3.50×10-3、4.81×10-2 cm/s。土-水特征曲线试验表明,垃圾土饱和含水率和残余含水率较高,进气值很小,土-水特征曲线在低基质吸力时存在陡降段,其中浅层垃圾土的陡于深层垃圾。验证试验表明,预测得到的非饱和渗透系数与实测结果接近,基于土-水特征曲线预测垃圾土非饱和渗透系数的方法基本可行。 相似文献

为了研究渗滤液水位以下产气对孔隙压力的影响,从孔隙气在渗滤液水位以下特定的流动状态出发,采用峰值产气模型,结合了达西定律、理想气体状态方程和多孔介质流体动力学理论,建立了渗滤液水位以下考虑产气作用的气液迁移模型。运用差分法对产气引起的气液迁移问题进行了数值求解。计算结果表明,渗滤液水位以下垃圾体的产气对孔隙压力的影响主要有渗滤液渗流引起的附加孔隙压力和水位升高引起的附加孔隙压力,按孔隙气所处阶段的不同可以分为孔隙气被封闭时孔压积聚阶段、孔隙气突破孔隙水封闭时的孔压急剧消散阶段以及由对流作用控制的气液运移阶段;高产气速率、高渗滤液水位和低渗透系数都会使得垃圾体内产生较高的孔隙压力;降低填埋场内渗滤液水位是减小产气对孔隙压力影响的有效措施。 相似文献

Mercury (Hg) concentrations in air, effluent water, landfill gas, leachate, groundwater, and soil at a hazardous solid waste landfill site in Korea were measured along with air–soil surface Hg exchange fluxes at the site. The concentrations and fluxes were considerably higher than have been found elsewhere in Korea. Gaseous Hg concentrations in the air peaked during the day, coinciding with Hg being released from the landfill surface. This suggests that air–soil exchange increased the Hg concentrations in the atmosphere. The air–soil exchange flux increased abruptly when solar radiation reached the soil surface. The Hg flux peaked about 3 h before the solar radiation peaked, possibly because reducible Hg was abundant at the soil surface. The Hg emission flux activation energy (E a) was low, indicating that the Hg species present and Hg–soil binding were probably not as important (because of the high Hg content of the soil) as in previous studies. The methylmercury to total Hg ratios in the discharged effluent, groundwater, and leachate was clearly higher than typically found in coastal water and freshwater, suggesting bacteria caused active methylation to occur under the reducing conditions in the anaerobic landfill. The results suggested that considerable amounts of Hg are probably transported from the landfill to nearby environmental media and that this will continue if waste with a high Hg content continues to be added to the landfill without being pretreated. 相似文献

Containment landfills: the myth of sustainability 总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5
A number of major problems associated with the containment approach to landfill management are highlighted. The fundamental flaw in the strategy is that dry entombment of waste inhibits its degradation, so prolonging the activity of the waste and delaying, possibly for several decades, its stabilisation to an inert state. This, coupled with uncertainties as to the long-term durability of synthetic lining systems, increases the potential, for liner failure at some stage in the future whilst the waste is still active, leading to groundwater pollution by landfill leachate. Clay liners also pose problems as the smectite components of bentonite liners are subject to chemical interaction with landfill leachate, leading to a reduction in their swelling capacity and increase in hydraulic conductivity. Thus, their ability to perform a containment role diminishes with time. More critically, if diffusion rather than advection is the dominant contaminant migration mechanism, then no liner will be completely impermeable to pollutants and the containment strategy becomes untenable.
There are other less obvious problems with the containment strategy. One is the tendency to place total reliance on artificial lining systems and pay little attention to local geological/hydrogeological conditions during selection of landfill sites. Based on the attitude that any site can be engineered for landfilling and that complete protection of groundwater can be effected by lining systems, negative geological characteristics of sites are being ignored. Furthermore, excessive costs in construction and operation of containment landfills necessitate that they are large scale operations (superdumps), with associated transfer facilities and transport costs, all of which add to overall waste management costs. Taken together with unpredictable post-closure maintenance and monitoring costs, possibly over several decades, the economics of the containment strategy becomes unsustainable. Such a high-cost, high-technology approach to landfill leachate management is generally beyond the financial and technological resources of the less wealthy nations, and places severe burdens on their economies. For instance, in third world countries with limited water resources, the need to preserve groundwater quality is paramount, so expensive containment strategies are adopted in the belief that they offer greatest protection to groundwater. A final indictment of the containment strategy is that in delaying degradation of waste, the present generations waste problems will be left for future generations to deal with.
More cost-effective landfill management strategies take advantage of the natural hydrogeological characteristics and attenuation properties of the subsurface. The ‘dilute and disperse’ strategy employs the natural sorption and ion exchange properties of clay minerals, and it has been shown that in appropriate situations it is effective in attenuating landfill leachate and preventing pollution of water resources. Operated at sites with thick clay overburden sequences, using a permeable cap to maximise rainfall infiltration and a leachate collection system to control leachate migration, ‘dilute and disperse’ is a viable leachate management strategy. Hydraulic traps are relatively common hydrogeological situations where groundwater flow is towards the landfill, so effectively suppressing outwards advective flow of leachate. This approach is also best employed with a clay liner, taking advantage of the attenuation properties of clays to combat diffusive flow of contaminants. These strategies are likely to guarantee greater protection of groundwater in the long term. 相似文献

The published laccolith analyses are based on the linear plate bending theory and the a priori assumption that the width of the laccolith is fixed. This is not the case in an actual situation. The dimension of the laccolith in the horizontal plane has to result from an additional matching condition at the separation lines. The published analyses are generalized by dropping the a priori assumption that the width of the laccolith is prescribed, by assuming that the magmatic pressure is not constant, and by taking into consideration the vertical compressibility of the overburden “plate” and base in the contact region. In order to determine the magnitude of the magmatic pressure, a condition is postulated that equates the measured volume of the intruded magma in a laccolith with the corresponding analytical expression for the volume. The obtained closed-form solution appears to satisfy many of the intuitive expectations. It was evaluated numerically and the results are presented as graphs. It may be concluded that even very small laccoliths may exist, provided the magmatic pressure is sufficiently larger than the overburden weight. We also show the dependence of the laccolith size on its stratigraphic position; the thicker the overburden h the larger the size of the laccolith, for an overburden plate of given thickness, the larger the volume V of the intruded magma, the larger the laccolith width 2a and its height. The paper concludes by discussing a published analysis for laccolith with flexible underburden and overburden. It is shown that this analysis is based on a formulation that is of questionable validity. 相似文献

Shear strength characterization of municipal solid waste at the Suzhou landfill, China 总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5
The current practice of slope stability analysis for a municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill usually overlooks the dependence of waste properties on the fill age or embedment depth. Changes in shear strength of MSW as a function of fill age were investigated by performing field and laboratory studies on the Suzhou landfill in China. The field study included sampling from five boreholes advanced to the bottom of the landfill, cone penetration tests and monitoring of pore fluid pressures. Twenty-six borehole samples representative of different fill ages (0 to 13 years) were used to perform drained triaxial compression tests. The field and laboratory study showed that the waste body in the landfill can be sub-divided into several strata corresponding to different ranges of fill age. Each of the waste strata has individual composition and shear strength characteristics. The triaxial test results showed that the MSW samples exhibited a strain-hardening and contractive behavior. As the fill age of the waste increased from 1.7 years to 11 years, the cohesion mobilized at a strain level of 10% was found to decrease from 23.3 kPa to 0 kPa, and the mobilized friction angle at the same strain level increasing from 9.9° to 26°. For a confinement stress level greater than 50 kPa, the shear strength of the recently-placed MSW seemed to be lower than that of the older MSW. This behavior was consistent with the cone penetration test results. The field measurement of pore pressures revealed a perched leachate mound above an intermediate cover of soils and a substantial leachate mound near the bottom of the landfill. The measurements of shear strength properties and pore pressures were utilized to assess the slope stability of the Suzhou landfill. 相似文献

Municipalities and recycling and environmental authorities are concerned about the growing amount of carpet waste produced by household, commercial and industrial sectors. It is reported that 500,000 tonnes of carpet waste fibre are plunged into landfills annually in the UK. In the United States of America, around 10 million tonnes of textile waste was generated in 2003. In geotechnical engineering, expansive clay soils are categorised as problematic soils due to their swelling behaviour upon increase in the moisture content. The problematic nature of such soils is intensified with the increase in the plasticity index. This paper presents results of a comprehensive investigation into utilisation of carpet waste fibres in order to improve the swelling characteristics of compacted cohesive soils. Therefore, two different clay soils with markedly different plasticity indices (i.e. 17.0 and 31.5 %) were treated with two different types of carpet waste fibre. Waste fibres were added to prepare specimens with fibre content of 1, 3 and 5 % by dry weight of soil. Soil specimens with different dry unit weights and moisture contents were prepared so as to the swelling behaviour of fibre reinforced compacted clays is completely attained under various scenarios. The results indicated that the behaviour of the fibre reinforced soils seems highly dependent on the initial compaction state and secondary on the moisture content. It was found that the swelling pressure drops rapidly as the percentage of fibre increases in samples prepared at the maximum dry unit weight and optimum moisture content. Reducing the dry unit weight, while maintaining constant moisture content or increasing the moisture content at constant dry unit weight was found to reduce the swelling pressure. 相似文献

Analysis of flow behavior in a landfill with cover soil of low hydraulic conductivity 总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1
Y. -S Jang 《Environmental Geology》2000,39(3-4):292-298
This paper presents the results of field tests of hydrologic parameters in a landfill and the results of numerical simulation
to find the efficiency of the pumping method to reduce leachate levels in the landfill. The field hydraulic conductivity and
storativity of waste and buried cover soils in the landfill are measured by pumping and slug tests. The hydrologic condition
inside the landfill is first calibrated using the drawdown-time curve obtained from the pumping test, and the flow behavior
of leachate during pumping in the landfill, when various layers of waste and buried cover soil exist, is analyzed through
three-dimensional numerical simulation of flow. The results of the field investigation show that the buried cover soil of
low hydraulic conductivity forms an impermeable layer preventing the downward flow of leachate and upward flow of landfill
gas. The hydraulic conductivities of the pumping test and slug tests were quite close on the same order of magnitude. It was
also possible to match the drawdown-time data of the field tests with those of the model using input data close to the hydrologic
property obtained from the field tests. The numerical flow analysis showed that pumping was possible up to 120 tons/day for
a single well without a drain, while the pumping rate could be increased to 300 tons/day for the same well with the drain.
From the vertical section of the flow vector with a horizontal drain, the barrier role of buried cover soil is identified,
which was proposed by examining the water contents of the disposed cover soil and waste in the field.

The primary objective of bioreactor landfill is to achieve adequate and rapid distribution of moisture in landfilled municipal solid waste (MSW) to accelerate the anaerobic biodegradation of the organic fraction within MSW. A horizontal trench system (HT) is commonly adopted for leachate distribution in MSW under pressurized conditions. However, this approach should be implemented carefully due to the potential instability of landfill slopes that comes from the generation and distribution of excessive pore fluid pressures. In this study, HT design charts are presented that determine the optimal location of horizontal trench systems from the side slope (i.e., minimum lateral setback distance) under continuous leachate addition with maximum applied injection pressures, for which the landfill slopes remain stable [factor of safety (FOS) where FOS ≥ 1.5]. Use of any higher injection pressure and/or shorter lateral setback distance of HT than the one presented in the design charts would result in an unacceptable design of the bioreactor side slope (FOS < 1.5). The design chart was developed based on a parametric study that used a numerical two-phase flow model that involved different slope configurations and landfill waste depths. MSW heterogeneity and anisotropy, as well as unsaturated hydraulic properties, were taken into consideration in these simulations. Transient changes in pore water and gas pressures due to leachate recirculation were accounted for dually in the slope stability computations. The importance of these design charts is illustrated using a practical example. Site-specific conditions and the expertise and prior experience of a designer or operator must also be adequately considered and utilized with the design charts presented here for the safe design of a horizontal trench system in a bioreactor landfill. 相似文献

Multi-matrix environmental monitoring was used to evaluate the influence of a municipal solid waste landfill (Ginestreto, Emilia Romagna, Italy) on the level and distribution of heavy elements in the surrounding environment (air, soil and soil biota). Concentrations of As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, Sb, Tl and Zn were measured by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry in transplanted lichens, topsoils and isopods. The highest accumulation levels found for Cd, Cr, Pb, Sb and Zn in lichens transplanted within the Ginestreto landfill. However, similar concentrations of these heavy elements were also found in lichens exposed in monitoring sites influenced by other man-made sources, such as vehicle traffic and truck movements. The fallout of heavy elements emitted by the landfill had low impact on their levels in topsoil: Cd, Cr, Pb, Sb and Zn showed higher contents in topsoil collected close to the landfill and a slight decrease in concentrations with increasing distance from the landfill. There was no variation in heavy element accumulation in isopods in relation to distance from the landfill. The results of this study indicate that the Ginestreto municipal solid waste landfill had limited impact on the environmental distribution of heavy elements, since accumulation and enrichment in lichens and topsoils were only detected close to the landfill, up to about 100 m from its border. 相似文献

The leachate levels in the landfills in southern China are generally high. Field monitoring was carried out in the Suzhou landfill to investigate the leachate mound. The saturated hydraulic conductivity and soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) of municipal solid waste were measured using samples taken from different depths of the landfill. Field monitoring reveals that a perched leachate mound and a substantial main leachate mound existed in the landfill. The saturated hydraulic conductivities of wastes in shallow, middle and deep depth were measured to be 4.81 × 10?2, 3.50 × 10?3 and 3.56 × 10?4 cm/s, respectively. The results of SWCC tests show that the SWCC curve was steep when matric suction was low, and the shallower the waste the steeper would be the curve. In addition to the field and laboratory tests, an unsaturated–saturated seepage analysis was conducted to simulate the development of the high leachate mound and to calculate the annual leachate production. The simulated volumetric water content in the unsaturated zone was about 40 %, which agreed well with the test result. The calculated leachate mound was consistent with the field measurement. The calculated annual and daily leachate productions were all more reasonable than the results of the HELP model. 相似文献
