Landfills have been widely constructed all around the world in order to properly dispose
municipal solid waste (MSW). Understanding geotechnical properties of MSW is essential …

The characteristics of municipal solid waste (MSW) play a key role in many aspects of waste
disposal facilities and landfills. Because most of a landfill is made up of MSW, the overall …

Large direct shear testing (300mm× 300mm box) of municipal solid waste (MSW) collected
from a landfill located in the San Francisco Bay area was performed to gain insight on the …

Probabilistic slope stability analysis of the municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill slope
(height= 30 m and 1 V∶ 3 H) with due consideration to the spatial variation of geotechnical …

This paper presents results of shear strength testing of intact and recompacted samples of
municipal solid waste (MSW). A method for in situ sampling of MSW from landfills using a …

The mechanical behavior of municipal solid waste (MSW) has attracted the attention of many
researchers in the field of geo-environmental engineering in recent years and several …

Due to the existence of fibrous materials such as plastic fragments, the strength anisotropy of
Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) materials is the main source of differences between their …

The current study presents the physical and mechanical properties of municipal solid waste
(MSW) with different ages of new and old Tabriz landfill. Although there are several …

Constant load and constant volume simple shear testing was conducted on relatively fresh
municipal solid waste (MSW) from two landfills in the United States, one in Michigan and a …

In the paper the results of a geotechnical investigation carried on Municipal Solid Waste
(MSW) materials retrieved from the “Cozzo Vuturo” landfill in the Enna area (Sicily, Italy) are …
