Dynamic behaviour of shredded rubber soil mixtures (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bernal-Sanchez, J., McDougall, J., Barreto Gonzalez, D., Miranda, M., & Marinelli, A. (2018). Dynamic behaviour of shredded rubber soil mixtures. In Proceedings of the 16th European Conference in Earthquake Engineering

Residential buildings in high population density areas are seismically vulnerable to the action of major seismic events. The high cost and technical difficulties related to the use of advanced seismic isolations systems precludes its installation to...

Waste-composition-dependent HBM model parameters based on degradation experiments (2018)
Journal Article
Datta, S., Zekkos, D., Fei, X., & McDougall, J. (2021). Waste-composition-dependent HBM model parameters based on degradation experiments. Environmental Geotechnics, 8(2), 124-133. https://doi.org/10.1680/jenge.18.00014

Municipal solid waste (MSW) is biodegradable in landfills under anaerobic conditions. The evolution of the hydro-biochemical-mechanical (HBM) processes during degradation is investigated first through experiments and subsequently via modelling. Thr...

Strategies for One Dimensional (1D) Compression Testing of Large-Particle-Sized Tire Derived Aggregate (2018)
Journal Article
Adesokan, D., Fleming, I., Hammerlindl, A., & McDougall, J. (2019). Strategies for One Dimensional (1D) Compression Testing of Large-Particle-Sized Tire Derived Aggregate. Geotechnical Testing Journal, 42(5), 1336-1358. https://doi.org/10.1520/gtj20170091

Laboratory testing of a mass of large particle sized Tire Derived Aggregate (TDA) to assess performance related properties such as void ratio, compressive creep and hydraulic conductivity under large loads poses a number of experimental challenges. L... Read More about Strategies for One Dimensional (1D) Compression Testing of Large-Particle-Sized Tire Derived Aggregate.

Estimating degradation-related settlement in two landfill-reclaimed soils by sand-salt analogues (2018)
Journal Article
McDougall, J., Fleming, I., Thiel, R., Dewaele, P., Parker, D., & Kelly, D. (2018). Estimating degradation-related settlement in two landfill-reclaimed soils by sand-salt analogues. Waste Management, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wasman.2018.04.013

Landfill reclaimed soil here refers to largely degraded materials excavated from old landfill sites, which after processing can be reinstated as more competent fill, thereby restoring the former landfill space. The success of the process depends on... Read More about Estimating degradation-related settlement in two landfill-reclaimed soils by sand-salt analogues.
