The valley shaped Tianziling landfill of Hangzhou in China built in 1991 to dispose of municipal solid waste (MSW) was designed for a service life of 13 years. The problem of waste landfill slope stability and expansion must be considered from the geotechnical engineering point of view, for which purpose, it is necessary to understand the geotechnical properties of the MSW in the landfill, some of whose physical properties were measured by common geotechnical tests, such as those on unit weight, water content, organic matter content, specific gravity, coefficient of permeability, compressibility, etc. The mechanical properties were studied by direct shear test, triaxial compression test, and static and dynamic penetration tests. Some strength parameters for engineering analysis were obtained.

Accurate assessment of the dynamic strength characteristics of mechanically-biologically treated (MBT) waste is crucial for the construction and safe operation of landfill sites. Herein, samples of MBT waste from the Hangzhou Tianziling landfill were collected and subjected to consolidated undrained cyclic triaxial tests under four confinement levels and six cyclic stress ratios (CSRs). Under cyclic loading, the MBT waste exhibited a critical CSR.

The reinforcement strength characteristics of mechanically biologically treated (MBT) waste were studied by conducting consolidated undrained triaxial tests with MBT waste collected from the Hangzhou Tianziling landfill pilot project. In the tests, the effects of the reinforcement material used (geomembrane, geotextile, and geogrid) and the number of reinforcement layers used (one, two, and three layers) were assessed. The results showed the following: (1) even through the axial strain increases up to 25%, the deviator stress of MBT waste could not reach a well-defined peak; (2) the reinforcement effect is related to the type of reinforcement material, with geogrid exhibiting the best reinforcement effect and geomembrane the worst; (3) the strength ratio of reinforced MBT waste is related to the confining pressure and the number of reinforcement layers, with a greater strength ratio in the MBT waste attained with a lower confining pressure in a logarithmic relationship and a greater strength ratio in the MBT waste attained with a greater number of reinforcement layers in a linear relationship; (4) the reinforced MBT waste shear strength parameter variation ranges for the cohesion (c), internal friction angle (φ), effective cohesion (c'), and effective internal friction angle (φ') are 3.

Mechanical and biological treatment (MBT), which can be used for waste reduction and for the burning of methane from biological treatments to generate electricity and heating, has become a popular research topic in environmental geotechnical engineering. This study investigated the mechanical behaviour of MBT waste and the effects of different reinforcement contents and reinforcement scales on its shear strength characteristics, and 68 groups of MBT waste samples from the Hangzhou Tianziling landfill were tested in the laboratory with a direct shear test apparatus. The samples exhibited displacement hardening behaviour in their mechanical response.

AbstractMechanically and biologically treated (MBT) waste has significant characteristics such as high stability and low moisture content, which can reduce water, soil, and gas pollution in subsequent treatments. This pre-treatment method is environmentally friendly and sustainable and has become a popular research topic in the field of environmental geotechnical engineering. Using a direct shear test apparatus and five shearing rates (0.

The pumping performance of the traditional vertical well is often poor in municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills due to the blocking effect of landfill gas on leachate migration. To improve the pumping performance, a vacuum vertical well was designed and then installed at the Tianziling landfill. When the leachate was drawn out through submersible pump, the landfill gas was simultaneously extracted through vacuum pump to form vacuum pressure in the well.
