The reinforcement strength characteristics of mechanically biologically treated (MBT) waste were studied by conducting consolidated undrained triaxial tests with MBT waste collected from the Hangzhou Tianziling landfill pilot project. In the tests, the effects of the reinforcement material used (geomembrane, geotextile, and geogrid) and the number of reinforcement layers used (one, two, and three layers) were assessed. The results showed the following: (1) even through the axial strain increases up to 25%, the deviator stress of MBT waste could not reach a well-defined peak; (2) the reinforcement effect is related to the type of reinforcement material, with geogrid exhibiting the best reinforcement effect and geomembrane the worst; (3) the strength ratio of reinforced MBT waste is related to the confining pressure and the number of reinforcement layers, with a greater strength ratio in the MBT waste attained with a lower confining pressure in a logarithmic relationship and a greater strength ratio in the MBT waste attained with a greater number of reinforcement layers in a linear relationship; (4) the reinforced MBT waste shear strength parameter variation ranges for the cohesion (c), internal friction angle (φ), effective cohesion (c′), and effective internal friction angle (φ′) are 3.92–13.69 kPa, 19°–29°, 10.10–27.94 kPa, and 24°–45°, respectively; and (5) the deviations in the test values from the apparent cohesion method and the semi-empirical formula method are less than 15%, indicating that these two theories of reinforced sand can also be applied to MBT waste. The results of this study are useful as a baseline reference for the stability assessment of MBT waste landfills.
