TL;DR: The results of a laboratory investigation to determine the geotechnical properties of fresh municipal solid waste collected from the working phase of Orchard Hills Landfill showed that strain-dependent shear strength properties should be properly accounted in the stability analysis of bioreactor landfills.

TL;DR: Variation of synthetic MSW properties from this study suggests that significant changes in geotechnical properties of MSW can occur due to enhanced degradation induced by leachate recirculation.

TL;DR: This paper describes a comprehensive laboratory study performed to investigate the compressibility and shear strength properties of 1.5-year-old municipal solid waste (MSW) exhumed from a landfill cell where low amounts of leachate were recirculated.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of laboratory tests was conducted using shredded fresh and landfilled municipal solid waste (MSW) from the Orchard Hills landfill (Illinois, United States) using two different small-scale and large-scale rigid-wall permeameters and a small scale triaxial permeameter.

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of a laboratory investigation performed to determine the geotechnical properties of synthetic municipal solid waste (SMSW) simulating typical composition of Mw generated in the United States were presented.
