Temporal and Spatial Pore Water Pressure Distribution Surrounding a Vertical Landfill Leachate Recirculation Well

Abstract: Addition of liquids into landfilled waste can result in an increase in pore water pressure, and this in turn may increase concerns with respect to geotechnical stability of the landfilled waste mass. While the impact of vertical well leachate recirculation on landfill pore water pressures has been mathematically modeled, measurements of these systems in operating landfills have not been reported. Pressure readings from vibrating wire piezometers placed in the waste surrounding a liquids addition well at a full… Show more

“…Timmons et al (2012) documented the use of total earth pressure cells for measuring the overburden pressures at the base of the landfill resulting from overlying waste. Kadambala et al (2011) examined the use of vibrating wire piezometers placed within the waste surrounding a vertical liquids addition well and observed pore pressures measured in the area surrounding the wells to be significantly lower than those encountered in the well itself. Pore pressures increased rapidly following the initiation of leachate recirculation, but only slowly dissipated after liquids addition ceased.…”

“…Additionally, differential settlement around verticals wells at the surface of the landfill created a maintenance problem. Kadambala et al (2011) evaluated the use of buried vertical wells as a method to avoid seepage issues; vertical wells were constructed on the surface of the landfill and connected via a buried manifold in a surface trench ( Fig. 4.18).…”

“…Moisture distribution within landfills, particularly bioreactor landfills, has been the focus of many numerical modeling, laboratory, and field studies over the past several years (e.g., Li and Zeiss 2001;Kazimoglu et al 2005;Grellier et al 2006;Capelo and De Castro 2007;Marcoux et al 2007;Catley et al 2008;Staub et al 2009;Kadambala et al 2011;Stoltz et al 2012). Kulkarni and Reddy (2012) provided an extensive literature review of previous studies that have investigated moisture distribution (e.g., field capacity, absorption, moisture retention, flow characteristics) in landfills.…”
