Phase relations for decomposable soils (2004)
Journal Article
McDougall, J. R., & Pyrah, I. C. (2004). Phase relations for decomposable soils. Géotechnique, 54(7), 487-493. https://doi.org/10.1680/geot.54.7.487.46750

Expressions describing the phase composition and interphase relations for a decomposable soil are derived by distinguishing between inert and decomposable fractions. A relationship between void volume changes and decomposition of the solid fraction,... Read More about Phase relations for decomposable soils.

Extended phase relations and load effects in MSW (2004)
Journal Article
McDougall, J., Pyrah, I., & Yuen, S. T. S. (2004). Extended phase relations and load effects in MSW. Waste Management, 24(3), 251-257. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wasman.2003.10.009

The moisture retention and compression characteristics of municipal solid waste under self-weight are likened to those of an unsaturated soil. By assuming that the solid organic fraction in waste retains a relatively immobile micropore moisture and t... Read More about Extended phase relations and load effects in MSW.

Moisture retention curve in landfilled waste. (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kazimoglu, Y. K., McDougall, J., & Pyrah, I. (2003). Moisture retention curve in landfilled waste. In Unsaturated Soils: Experimental Studies (59-67). https://doi.org/10.1007/3-540-26736-0_5

Moisture content and moisture movement are key factors in controlling the progress and rate of biodegradation within a landfill as it is the aqueous environment that facilitates the transport of nutrients and microbes. The modelling of infiltration a... Read More about Moisture retention curve in landfilled waste..
