Abstract
In an academic project in Iran University of Science and Technology, an instrumented landfill containing two separate cells is constructed for monitoring landfill behavior. About 4600 tons of MSW is disposed in three layers in each cell with a height of 5.2m and the dimensions of 35m x 57m. In one of the cells, leachate is recirculated on the landfill. By measuring the temperature, leachate, gas and settlements of landfill, landfill behavior due to the special kind of Tehran's MSW (which is high moisture content, mostly organic part) is investigated. The measured temperature in both cells shows the average temperature in cells about 45 and 47 °C and shows with presence of a moderate final cap (40cm of compacted clay) the variation of air temperature from –5 to 40 °C have just an effect on the upper layer of waste but does not change the average temperature of whole landfill very much.
