Özet

In parallel with the developing world population, the amount of urban solid waste increases day by day. Uncontrolled storage of solid wastes with poorly defined engineering properties can result in a risk of life safety and serious economic loss. In this study, natural water content, organic matter content, specific gravity and pH values of the synthetic waste (with pre-determined compositions) and natural waste samples were investigated in laboratory conditions. Shear strength parameters of the synthetic and natural municipal solid waste (MSW) samples were determined by using a large scale direct shear test system. The slope stability analyses were conducted for present slopes at static and dynamic conditions and the factor of safety values were obtained. The obtained Turkey MSW composition engineering parameters can be used in the design of safe and economical MSW storage areas in Turkey.
