Modeling the Influence of Biodegradation on Sanitary Landfill Settlements

Abstract. This paper presents a mathematical model to reproduce long term or secondary settlement of sanitary landfills.

The model introduces a biodegradation parameter that relates mass loss with volumetric variations. The biodegradationof …
