Book Chapter
McDougall, J., Fleming, I., Thiel, R., Dewaele, P., Parker, D., & Kelly, D. (2013). Mass loss and volume change: From sand-salt analogues to MSW. In G. Musso (Ed.), Coupled Phenomena in Environmental Geotechnics (189-197). CRC Press. https://doi.org/10.1201/b15004-19

Results from two sets of laboratory test programmes on sand-salt mixtures in wihch the salt fractions, of different amounts and size, are dissolved are brought together to gather insight into the mechanics of mass loss and its controlling factors. Th... Read More about Mass loss and volume change: From sand-salt analogues to MSW.

Volumetric consequences of particle loss by grading entropy (2013)
Journal Article
McDougall, J., Imre, E., Barreto, D., & Kelly, D. (2013). Volumetric consequences of particle loss by grading entropy. Géotechnique, 63(3), 262-266. https://doi.org/10.1680/geot.sip13.t.002

Chemical and biological processes, such as dissolution in gypsiferous sands and biodegradation in waste refuse, result in mass or particle loss, which in turn lead to changes in solid and void phase volumes and grading. Data on phase volume and gradi... Read More about Volumetric consequences of particle loss by grading entropy.

Particle loss and volume change on dissolution: experimental results and analysis of particle size and amount effects (2013)
Journal Article

Soil particles may be lost through dissolution, degradation or erosion. Regardless of the process of loss, there follows a change in soil structure both in terms of phase composition and grading. In this paper, the influence of size and amount of par... Read More about Particle loss and volume change on dissolution: experimental results and analysis of particle size and amount effects.
