This research project aims at obtaining parameters of pollutant migration through a lateritic residual soil by back-analysis of in-situ contamination of the subsoil underlying the leachate pond in the sanitary landfill of Botucatu and laboratory column and diffusion tests carried out with non-contaminated local soil samples. Back-analysis will be based on results of physical-chemical anal…
The main objectives of this research project are: to evaluate strength parameters of municipal solid wastes (MSW) by means of in-situ static load plate tests and Terzaghi´s formulation for ultimate bearing capacity of direct shallow foundations, and to study the stress-strain behavior of these materials. The Young modulus of the waste mass will also be estimated through the proposed tests…

The feasibility of using water treatment Sludge (WTS) as daily cover of sanitary landfills aims at reducing environmental impacts consequent of inadequate destination (WTS is generally discarded in rivers), besides substituting and preserving natural soils used for this purpose. However, WTS does not present proper mechanical and hydraulic characteristics for direct utilization in earth w…
The discharge of sludge from water treatment plants (WTPs) in water bodies is still a common practice in Brazil. Other usual destination alternatives are to dispose of the water treatment sludge (WTS) in municipal solid waste or industrial landfills, or to send the WTS to sewage treatment plants. However, increasingly stringent environmental standards have led to the search for more susta…
The final disposal of Water Treatment Sludge (WTS) is nowadays a great challenge for sanitation companies. Several researches have been developed aiming at the reuse of WTS, however, the most common destination is still the disposal in sanitary or industrial landfills, or treatment in sewage treatment plants. An alternative for sludge destination is the addition to natural soils for geote…
