Abstract

The prediction of landfill settlement is very important for managing land properly, especially in small national land like Korea. It is difficult to express settlement using the consolidation theory because biochemical decomposition is main reason of settlement, and organic materials in landfill are decomposed far long time. In this study, LFG (Landfill Gas) generation characteristics are studied to find long-term settlement analysing model landfills. Two lysimeters are made; one is leachate recycled, and the other is not leachate recycled. The relationship between gas generation and settlement is analysed as a function of time. A mathematical gas generation model is suggested to predict long-term settlement due to biodegradation, and correction coefficient is recommended for long term settlement through model tests. The leachate recirculation system is more effective to accelerate landfill settlement. The appropriate coefficients of gas correction for non-recycled leachate model are 1.4 and 1.7 for recycled system from tests showing 22% of acceleration.

폐기물 매립지의 침하량을 예측하는 것은 우리나라와 같은 좁은 국토를 효율적으로 관리하기 위하여 매우 중요하다. 매립장내 유기물이 장기간에 걸쳐 생화학적으로 분해되기 때문에 압밀이론으로 해석하기 곤란하다. 본 연구에서는 실내모델실험을 통하여 매립가스의 발생특성을 분석하였다. 두개의 시험매립조를 만들었는데 하나는 침출수를 재순환한 것과 다른 하나는 재순환하지 않은 것이다. 시간의 변화에 따른 가스발생량과 매립조의 침하량과의 관계를 분석하였다. 수학적 침하량예측모델을 제안하여 장기침하량을 예측하여 실험계측치와 비교하고 수정계수를 사용하도록 제안하였다. 침출수 재순환이 침하를 촉진하는 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났는데 가스모델의 수정계수가 침출수순환을 하지 않은 경우는 1.4, 재순환한 경우는 1.7으로서 약 22%의 촉진효과가 있다.
