“…More than 21 different studies have been carried out in 2009 on the use of PMS in the landfill body (Rokainen et al 2009). The characteristics of PMS have been exploited also for road bed construction for light loaded roads and tennis courts (Moo-Young et al, 1996).…”

“…The most common medium is granular zero-valent iron (Fe 0 ), which has been used to treat chlorinated ethene compounds [1][2][3], toxic heavy metals [4][5][6][7], and chlorinated herbicides [8,9]. Adsorptive media are also used, such as zeolites, straw, wood chips, peat, coal, and tire chips [10][11][12], as are mixtures of granular iron and organic carbon bearing materials [1,13,7,4].…”

“…paper mill sludge (Moo-Young and Zimmie, 1996), sewage sludge/biosolids (O'Kelly, 2013), and water-treatment residue material (O'Kelly, 2014)) has also been questioned. For example, Moo-Young and Zimmie (1996) reported that paper fibres and tissues in paper mill sludge caused problems when cutting the groove in performing the Casagrande LL test.…”

The Atterberg limits are the most common tests specified by practising geotechnical engineers worldwide. These tests, which have physical meaning for fine-grained mineral soils, are regularly specified for peat and other highly organic soils despite fundamental issues regarding their appropriateness for such materials. These issues are explored in this briefing from which it is concluded that Atterberg limit concepts are inappropriate for peat and are unlikely to meaningfully correlate with mechanical (strength) behaviour. In assessing likely engineering behaviour of peat, a more useful suite of index tests is natural water content, organic content, fibre content and degree of humification.For correlations with strength and compressibility parameters, Dutch organic soil practice has found that water content and bulk density are usually sufficient.
