Introduction; Municipal waste management (principles, goals, activities); Analysis of existing practices in municipal waste management; Types and composition of municipal waste; Selection of methods for treatment of municipal waste (reduction of waste at source, reuse, recycling, composting, anaerobic digestion, incineration of waste, other waste treatment processes);Methods and technologies of municipal waste disposal; General on municipal waste landfills and their impact on the environment; Choice of location (natural factors, population, settlements and urbanism, economy);Geotechnical research for landfill projects and standards for geotechnical design (accompanying facilities); Geotechnical monitoring of landfills; Use of natural materials (waterproof, drainage, coverings); Use of artificial-geosynthetic materials (waterproofing, drainage, coatings, filtration);Physical-mechanical properties of waste: compression rate, water permeability, strength and deformability; Stability (in the opening, exploitation and closure phase) and settlement (base and waste) of municipal waste landfill. Practical teaching
Exercises follow lectures (slides, projections, audio-visual presentations). They include the preparation of seminar papers in the field of geotechnical selection of site locations, geotechnical investigations using natural and artificial materials for landfill construction. |
