Decomposition and settlement in landfilled waste and other soil-like materials (2004)
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.54.9.605The 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...

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.54.7.487.46750Expressions 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.2003.10.009The 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.
