- Abstract
In order to study the creep-degradation settlement properties of municipal solid waste, the change of static-creep-settlement for fresh municipal solid wastes which collected from the Chongqing landfill was observed elaborately during the 330 days Laboratory test, and the PTH Model which would fit the settlement properties better was funded. By analyzing leachate-degradation-strain-time relational curves, the number of total creep settlement caused by external load and inner degradation in the waste can reach 33.2% of the sample height. The leachate production can be controlled by the external load and organic content. The tests results indicate that the degradation rule of MSW can be expressed as the Richards model，and the relation of cumulative sellenment with cumulative leachate fit the Exponential function model. The corresponding section for organic content that suit for the initial compression deformation and the creep-degradation settlement could be ranged from 29.1% to 36.47%. During the monitoring for settlement and internal temperature field in the anaerobic reaction stage, an optimum temperature zones that varied from 20℃ to 41℃ are found, which could accelerate degradation speed of organic matters in the waste. Moreover, degradation speed of organic matters becomes maximum when the temperature reaches 41℃.
