Geomechanics and Long-Term Landfill Settlement (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McDougall, J. (2008, March). Geomechanics and Long-Term Landfill Settlement. Presented at GeoCongress 2008

Long term landfill settlement is commonly attributed to two phenomena: creep and biodegradation. Biodegradation, which may contribute the greater proportion of long‐term settlement, is a function of a range of factors, many of which are not easily as...

Sustainable landfill: the role of fail-safe engineering for landfill aftercare. (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hall, D. H., McDougall, J., Drury, D., Blakey, N., Braithwaite, P., & Rosevear, A. (2007, October). Sustainable landfill: the role of fail-safe engineering for landfill aftercare. Presented at Eleventh International Waste Management and Landfill Symposium,

The route to sustainable landfill while adhering to the Landfill Directive requires that ultimately, the waste site will reach equilibrium status. Chemical equilibrium is part of the requirements, but hydraulic equilibrium must also play a role. The...

Assessment of landfill settlement data for evaluation of a hydro-bio-mechanical settlement model. (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Needham, A., Jones, D. R. V., McDougall, J., Dixon, N., Braithwaite, P., & Rosevear, A. (2007, October). Assessment of landfill settlement data for evaluation of a hydro-bio-mechanical settlement model. Presented at Eleventh International Waste Management and Landfill Symposium,

A hydro-bio-mechanical (HBM) model of waste degradation has been under development for several years to simulate the actual processes involved in the settlement of landfilled wastes. The objective of this current research is the further development o... Read More about Assessment of landfill settlement data for evaluation of a hydro-bio-mechanical settlement model..

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kazimoglu, Y. K., McDougall, J., & Pyrah, I. (2006, April). Unsaturated hydraulic conductivity of landfilled waste. Presented at Fourth International Conference on Unsaturated Soils, Carefree, Arizona, USA

Unsaturated flow modelling of landfill hydraulics is a potentially valuable tool for the prediction of leachate discharge rates, design of leachate control systems and simulation of biodegradation in engineered landfills. Such an approach requires in... Read More about Unsaturated hydraulic conductivity of landfilled waste..

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.

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kazimoglu, Y. K., McDougall, J., & Pyrah, I. (2003, September). Moisture retention curve in landfilled waste. Presented at Unsaturated soils

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..
