Currently, landfill is the most common, economical, and convenient method for municipal solid waste (MSW) disposal in countries around the world. MSW has a complex composition and special engineering characteristics, which lead to a very complex settlement mechanism in MSW landfills. This article reviews the description of this settlement mechanism in the existing literature and classifies it into stress-related mechanisms, biodegradation processes of organic substances, water-related mechanisms and physical and chemical processes of inorganic components. Based on the settlement mechanism, the influencing factors of landfill settlement were analysed, including the composition of MSW, physical parameters, environmental factors, and the operation mode of the landfill. Some practical engineering suggestions are obtained by analysing the influencing factors of MSW landfill settlement. Four common methods for studying the settlement of MSW landfills are presented, including laboratory experiments, in-situ settlement monitoring, theoretical analysis, and numerical simulation. We classified the existing settlement models into six categories: a soil mechanics, rheological, empirical, biodegradation, constitutive, and multiphase coupling models. Advantages and disadvantages of the different models and their applicability are compared and analysed. Moreover, limitations in the modelling process of MSW landfill settlement and future research directions are discussed.
