Journal Article
McDougall, J. R., Pyrah, I. C., Yuen, S. T. S., Monteiro, V. E. D., Melo, M. C., & Jucá, J. F. T. (2004). Decomposition and settlement in landfilled waste and other soil-like materials. Géotechnique, 54(9), 605-609. https://doi.org/10.1680/geot.54.9.605.56937

The term ‘soil-like materials’ is used to refer to particulate materials that contain organic or other non-inert solids. When these materials decompose, there is a reduction in solid phase volume and an induced change in void phase volume, the combin...
