The increase in landfill temperature often results in shear strength reduction of both the solid waste and the liner, which leads to slope instability. However, very few landfill slope analysis methods can simultaneously consider the effect of temperature on the shear strength of the waste solid and the liner. In this study, based on the strength parameters of the liner and waste with temperature, a wedge method for translational failure analysis of landfills considering temperature increase was established. The results showed that rising temperatures caused by biochemical degradation at the bottom and middle of the landfill reduced the anti-slide force of back slope more than that of bottom slope. With the leachate level increasing, the effect of temperature rise on landfill stability became obvious. The feasibility of the proposed wedge method was verified by the engineering case study of Xiaping Landfill, Shenzhen, China. This study probably provides important guidance for the design, operation and management of municipal solid waste landfills.

Closed Landfill

With the accumulation of solid waste in developing countries, sites of closed landfills have attracted attentions, which can be sorted as one typical brown field in urban area. Taking closed municipal solid waste landfills as examples, case study for turning brown land into green space in Europe and USA was carried out, based on which, suggestions on the ecological regeneration of brown land in China were put forward. It was put forward that for closed landfill constructed in the earlier days, the reliable procedure for the site generation should be reclamation. If it is not possible to carry out the reclamation engineer at present, establishment of trees on the top soil of closed landfill, in other words, eco-regeneration can reduce the negative effects of landfill as far as possible. For the developing countries, reduction, stabilization and recycling of solid waste should be the final solution for solid waste.

<p>Municipal solid waste landfills are one of the most relevant soil and groundwater pollution sources. Monitoring networks should be designed on the preliminary phases to guarantee that groundwater quality control is performed periodically over both the operation and post-closure phase of the landfill.</p><p>This work shows the results of a groundwater quality detailed monitoring campaign developed on a municipal solid waste landfill in Valencia Region (Spain). The sampling campaign included the continuous analysis over 11 boreholes of the following parameters: mineral oil, As, B, Ba, Cd, Chlorine, electric conductivity, TOC, total Cr, Cr VI, Cu, COD, phenols, fluorine, total P, Hg, hydrocarbons, Mo, total N, Ni, Pb, pH, Sb, Se, suspended solids, sulphates and Zn. Besides, the piezometric levels around the landfill were also controlled.</p><p>Despite there is no clear Spanish legislation concerning groundwater quality, results show that the evolution of groundwater quality over time is satisfactory, fulfilling the requirements of the American (USEPA) and European (Dutch) legislation standards.</p>
