Abstract: This study will apply a newly developed coupled thermo-hydro-bio-mechanical (CTHBM) numerical model to a typical full-scale landfill cell geometry with horizontal trenches (HTs) as the leachate recirculation system (LRS) ...

Abstract: This study presents a reliability-based analysis performed using a coupled thermo-hydro-bio-mechanical model to assess the long-term performance of a typical landfill cell geometry under simulated bioreactor landfill ...

Abstract: Climate change impacts and its resulting vulnerabilities are perhaps one of the most important and yet the most poorly understood issues in the world today. The contaminated sites, specifically those located by coastal and ...

Abstract: A newly developed and validated numerical model that accounts for the coupled hydro-bio-mechanical processes in municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills, was employed to assess influence of various field conditions and system ...

Abstract: This paper reports an investigation of the thermal performance of an energy storage heat sink incorporated with multiple phase change materials (PCMs). A six-cavity cylindrical heat sink heated at the base is chosen for ...

Abstract: A coupled thermo-hydro-bio-mechanical (CTHBM) numerical model to simulate the long-term behavior of municipal solid waste in landfills is presented. Three numerical simulations—a conventional landfill simulation with no ...

Abstract: Fugitive methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills constitute one of the major anthropogenic sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In this regard, several researchers ...
