Abstract

Waste degradation testing on municipal solid waste from a landfill in Michigan, USA, was conducted and monitored in a laboratory landfill simulator for 1,460 days. Simple shear testing was performed on minimally compacted reconstituted fresh and degraded waste specimens and an "undisturbed" degraded specimen. The shear strength of the fresh waste was found to be 14% higher than the shear strength of the degraded waste. The effective friction angles of the fresh and degraded waste were 22° and 20°, respectively. The shear strength of an "undisturbed" specimen from the simulator was found to be nearly identical to the shear strength of a reconstituted specimen.
