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.54.9.605.56937

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...

Booster Disinfection of Water Supply Networks: Multiobjective Approach (2004)
Journal Article
Prasad, T. D., Walters, G. A., & Savic, D. A. (2004). Booster Disinfection of Water Supply Networks: Multiobjective Approach. Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management, 130(5), 367-376. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28ASCE%290733-9496%282004%29130%3A5%28367%29

Booster disinfection is the addition of disinfectant at some critical locations of a water distribution network such that disinfectant residuals are maintained at a level greater than the minimum for public health. Compared to conventional methods th... Read More about Booster Disinfection of Water Supply Networks: Multiobjective Approach.

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.2003.10.009

The 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.
