This paper describes input parameters and stability analyses for a municipal
solid waste (MSW) landfill experiencing elevated temperatures due to an aluminum
waste reaction. The scenarios analyzed to investigate slope stability include elevated
temperatures and increased gas and liquid pressures. The input parameters are
discussed including strength parameters for MSW before and after being impacted by
elevated temperatures, inclusion of gas pressures, and possible leachate levels. The
MSW that was thermally degraded at this site was modeled using an effective stress
cohesion and friction angle of zero and 20 degrees, respectively.
