Dynamic Properties of Municipal Solid Waste
In areas of moderate to high seismicity, seismic loading typically controls the design of waste fills. In these areas, a reliable estimate of (strain-dependent) material properties of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is required for safe and economical design of waste fills. Our understanding of the dynamic properties of MSW has significantly improved since the promulgation of Federal (US) Subtitle D regulations in 1993. These landmark regulations mandated for the first time seismic design and analysis of landfills in areas of modest and high seismicity (PHGA in excess of 0.10 g; 2,475 years return period). This chapter aims to review the state of the art of our understanding of the dynamic properties of MSW. These dynamic properties of MSW include: (1) The shear wave velocity Vs and small-strain shear modulus Gmax profile; (2) The shear strain-dependent shear modulus reduction G/Gmax and material damping (λ) curves; and (3) The dynamic Poisson's ratio v.
