The improper disposal of water treatment plant sludge (WTPS) into the environment can cause irreparable damage. One way to minimize this negative impact is to mix the sludge with the soil, applying the materials in engineering works. In this research, the objective was the use of WTPS for soil stabilization purposes, verifying the improvement of the cha...

The sanitary landfill settlement prediction is an important tool for an integrated waste management system once it allows the evaluation of the sanitary landfill useful life and assists in the development of planning actions. Several settlement models have been used as an attempt to estimate the waste volume reduction over time. However, there are few m...

This paper refers to a Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) compressibility study of waste disposed of in small scale sanitary landfills in the municipality of Presidente Lucena in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The research aims at the application and development of settlement prediction models based on settlement data collected on site. The studies we...

The article consists of the application of a new rating methodology for final disposal of urban solid waste (USW) by evaluating the conformity of geotechnical and environmental aspects during the implementation and operating processes. The IQS was proposed when introducing the concepts of Environmental Management, in accordance with ISO 14001, to the La...
