Geotechnical hazards associated with closed municipal solid waste landfill sites
As pressure for new infrastructure and development grows, it is inevitable that building projects will encounter some of the c20,000 closed former solid waste landfills in the UK, many of which will have accepted municipal solid wastes (MSW). Construction on or across these sites brings a special set of geohazards associated with the potential for large and difficult to predict settlements, gas...
متن کاملGeotechnical Instruments in Structural Monitoring
Geotechnical instruments are used widely as a complementary tool to geodetic methods in monitoring natural and man-made structures. This paper provides an overview of geotechnical instruments used in structural monitoring. The transducers commonly used in geotechnical instrumentation are first introduced. This is followed by an introduction of the various types of instruments including their wo...
متن کاملSurvey and geotechnical slope monitoring considerations
Monitoring of the slopes of surface mines can prevent loss of life, equipment, production and possibly the loss of the mine. The effectiveness of such monitoring depends on the extent to which slopes give adequate advanced warning before failing, and on the ability of the monitoring system to detect such warning. There is considerable evidence (for example, Ding et al., 1998) to indicate that s...
متن کاملGeotechnical properties of fresh municipal solid waste at Orchard Hills Landfill, USA.
This paper presents the results of a laboratory investigation to determine the geotechnical properties of fresh municipal solid waste (MSW) collected from the working phase of Orchard Hills Landfill located in Davis Junction (Illinois, USA). Laboratory testing was conducted on shredded MSW to determine the compaction, hydraulic conductivity, compressibility, and shear strength properties at in-...
متن کاملLandfill Leachate Monitoring: Applications of Stable Isotopes
The most significant impact of a landfill on the surrounding environment has been consistently identified as arising from the leachate (Farquhar 1989; CAE 1992; Mulvey 1997). Therefore, environmental monitoring programmes for landfills tend to focus on the detection of leachate impacts, particularly any contamination of ground and surface water (Lee and Jones 1991; DCC 1994). Conventional monit...
