| description abstract | This study focused on quantifying relative contributions of abiotic and biotic compression of municipal solid waste (MSW). Abiotic mechanisms include immediate compression, mechanical creep, and moisture-induced waste softening. The biotic mechanism is decomposition of the MSW organic fraction, which when coupled with mechanical creep, yields biocompression. Three 610-mm-diameter laboratory compression experiments were conducted for 1,150 days under the following conditions: (1) waste with no liquid addition (dry), (2) liquid addition spiked with biocide (abiotic), and (3) leachate recirculation (biotic). Immediate compression strain was similar in all three tests (24–27%). Mechanical creep, moisture-induced softening, and biocompression were compared via time-dependent compression ratios ( | |
