Abstract

Seismic response of municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill under horizontal and vertical earthquakes has been investigated by dynamic centrifuge testing. The MSW was modelled by mechanically representative model waste. The acceleration response at various depths were recorded and used to investigate the amplification characteristics of a MSW landfill. Vertical settlement was also measured during the shaking event. Post-test observations were compared to the realistic damage that occurs in a landfill under earthquake loading. The results also provide the data for validating the analytical methods of the seismic response of MSW landfill.
