The internal temperature of municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills is chronically higher than the ambient temperature due to heat production from organic matter degradation
which leads to engineering operation and maintenance problems. Existing experimental results show that the thermally induced volume changes of MSW were stress dependent and the elastic volumetric strain was significant
the latter may affect the determination of plastic volumetric strain which is usually used as the hardening parameter of constitutive model. On the basis of the previous tests
the effect of temperature on the volumetric deformation and compression characteristics of the clay in MSW under drained conditions were investigated by using the GDS temperature-controlled stress path triaxial apparatus
and the results were compared with the volumetric deformation characteristics of MSW under the same conditions to reveal the influencing mechanism of temperature change on the volumetric deformation characteristics of MSW. The methods of determining the thermal elastoplastic compression index and thermal elastic compression index of MSW were derived based on the results of MSW temperature-controlled triaxial tests. By adopting the principle of equivalent stress and assuming that the elastoplastic volumetric strain induced by temperature change was equal to the elastoplastic volumetric strain induced by an equivalent stress increment
a computational model for the volumetric deformation of MSW under thermo-mechanical coupling effect was established
and the model was validated and analyzed. The results showed that the void ratio was the main factor affecting the thermal volumetric strain of MSW. The and of MSW reduced with the increase of the initial consolidation stress
which were one order of magnitude larger than those of clay. The ratio of compression index and swelling index () at the corresponding consolidation stress level and normal temperature could be selected to simulate the volumetric deformation characteristics of MSW under thermo-mechanical coupling effects.
