Abstract

Abstract:— The number of landslides occurring in landfills reminds us that landfills are an engineering structure that must be assessed for stability. Due to variations in Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) composition and the effects of organic waste degradation, MSW geotechnical parameters vary greatly and can change in a short time. Therefore, it is necessary to study the geotechnical parameters of MSW for a more reliable calculation of stability. This research is an initial study that examines changes in physical characteristics (unit weight and grain size distribution) and hydraulics (hydraulic conductivity) of (artificial) organic waste, which is made from leaf litter. The results showed that the characteristics of organic waste samples change in a fast time, where the hydraulic conductivity of organic waste decreases, whereas bulk density and moisture content increase along with the degradation process, while the dry density does not show a significant increase. The results of this study indicate that the geotechnical characteristics of MSW in landfills can vary and change, related to the pattern of compaction and management of leachate (waste water). Rapid changes of the geotechnical parameters of the test results make this research must be continued with a wider sample variant and a longer observation time.
