Refuse degradation and landfill leachate treatment are the main research directions of landfill technology at present, but permeability characteristics of landfill body are paid little attention on. According to this actuality, the study selected four kinds of landfill's bodies under different pressures as study objects and tested the permeability characteristics in the stage of main compression settlement. Through the laboratory physical simulation experiments, the results show that the data of determination and analysis on landfill's bodies under four difference pressures conform to Darcy's law. Because the change of COD is in the phase of acid producing, its impact on permeability can not be considered. Based on these conditions, the calculation results of permeability coefficient indicate that during the course of the main compression settlement, the change law of landfill permeability coefficient index is approximately agreed with nature exponential law, expect for the condition of landfill body without pressure. Meanwhile, the landfill permeability coefficient values under four difference pressures are in the range of 10(-4.5)-10(-5.3) m x s(-1), which are consistent with the typical representative values of garbage permeability coefficient.
