Settlement-The Short and the Long of it (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McDougall, J. (2008, March). Settlement-The Short and the Long of it. Presented at International Symposium on Waste Mechanics

Total settlement in municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills can be considerable, from 25% to 50% of original fill thickness (Bjarngard and Edgers, 1990). Some occurs very quickly, i.e. during the filling phase (or short term), but there remains a signi... Read More about Settlement-The Short and the Long of it.
