Both landfill design and engineering are based on a geotechnical risk assessment namely in terms of the stability of the subsoil, the potential of mechanical deformation of the landfill body, and the stability of the interim and final cover considering also seismic events. This contribution introduces sites located in Romania and Estonia with a special focus on the geotechnical risk assessment in the design and construction of new landfills and the closure of old landfills. During the closure of a landfill an appropriate development of the interim cover is of high relevance for the remediation of old landfills, since the settlement processes in the landfill body must be decayed before the final cover can be applied. Depending on the proportion of biodegradable waste in the landfill body, the degree of compaction of the waste as well as the alteration and degree of mineralisation, the degree of the settlements can account for 5 to 15% of the landfill body height. The major settlements can generally last up to three years, depending on the organic inventory of the landfill. The examples from landfill engineering in Estonia and Romania illustrate the relevance of geotechnical assessments during the design phase of a landfill or a landfill closure as well as during the construction period.展开更多

In this work, leachates with different ages were collected from Laogang Refuse Landfill, and characterized with 14 key parameters. Simultaneously, principal component analysis （PCA） was applied to develop a synthetic parameter-F based on these 14 parameters, and a logarithm equation was simulated for the landfill stabilization process finally. It was predicted that leachates would meet Class I and Class II in standard for pollution control on the landfill site of municipal solid waste （GB 16889-1997） after 32 years and 22 years disposal under the natural attenuation in the humid and warm southern areas of China, respectively. The predication of landfill state would be more accurate and useful according to the synthetic parameter F of leachate from a working landfill.展开更多
