Abstract
The present study aims to develop urban area on an existing landfill. To achieve this goal, it is important to understand the mechanical properties of municipal solid waste. Since particle size of waste is large, a large triaxial shear device was employed for mechanical waste tests. Among results, this paper addresses triaxial compression, cyclic behavior, and mitigation of creep by means of preloading. The second topic concerns modulus and damping ratio changing with strain amplitude.
