Analysis of the factors influencing the geotechnical material parameters of MSW landfills

The material of Municipal Solid Waste landfills is a varied mix of materials with different properties. This material changing his properties according the procesing before or after the material is stored in landfill body. While the conditions in the landfill body are suitable, the bacteria start the development of biodegradation process. The process is affected by a number of factors. During the process, a large volume of lanfill gas is released from the landfill body and the landfill surface is declining. Material composition with processing methods during and after the transportation of waste to the landfill create geotechnical parameters of fresh material. As time goes by, this material loses biodegradable ingredients. The biodegradation process takes several years in the space of lanfill body. For the proper process of biodegratation, it's important to compliance next parameters: Sufficient organic matter content, sufficient material moisture and stable temperature with pH.
