| Summary: | capacity, and precipitation in determining the leachate compaction associated with these force, and the elements are constructed by Beck (1994). Both the leachate production and deflected accordingly. The model is designed to be Empirical relationships are then used to calculate a level of incorporated with a previously constructed gas generation and It incorporates the effects of gas generation, field leachate model is based on a mass balance on water, expressed leachate through the landfill. The compaction routine movement simulation, known as GasPro, which was developed by municipal solid waste landfills. In addition, it estimates overburden pressure on the formation of leachate within placed in the landfill. produced within each element. The model then migrates this sensitive to the sequence in which the waste material was Stallard (1990) and an automatic gridding and filling scheme the compaction and subsequent settlement that the waste will the waste compaction portions of the model were found to be This thesis presents a model to predict the effects of undergo due to the force of material placed above it. The utilizes Elastic Theory analysis to determine the forces which exist within the landfill due to overburden pressure. within finite elements constructed throughout the landfill. |
