In bioreactor landfill, the leachate flow and moisture distribution depend upon saturated and unsaturated hydraulic properties of municipal solid waste (MSW). The effects of unsaturated parameters have not been studied because of scarcity of the data and variation in unsaturated parameters due to MSW heterogeneity, degree of decomposition, and pore structure. In this study, a numerical two-phas...

The use of iron mining tailings in compacted landfills is expected to expand more and replace the placement dams. With this, unsaturated condition these materials becomes great importance for safety structures executed with them. In addition tests saturated condition, objective simplifying determination strength parameters direct shear constant water content were performed. Data physical chemic...
