Abstract
This paper describes input parameters and stability analyses for a municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill experiencing elevated temperatures due to an aluminum waste reaction. The scenarios analyzed to investigate slope stability include elevated temperatures and increased gas and liquid pressures. The input parameters are discussed including strength parameters for MSW before and after being impacted by elevated temperatures, inclusion of gas pressures, and possible leachate levels. The MSW that was thermally degraded at this site was modeled using an effective stress cohesion and friction angle of zero and 20 degrees, respectively.
