Geomembranes are used worldwide as basin liners in tailings ponds to decrease the
permeability of the foundation and prevent further transportation of harmful contaminants …

The behaviour of geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) as part of a physical-environmental system
is examined. Consideration is given to:(a) both the physical and hydraulic interactions with …

An important component of modern landfills is the liner system for the prevention of leachate
contamination of surrounding ground. Among landfill liner systems, geosynthetic clay liner …

This book helps you make sense of the data your school collects, including state student
achievement results as well as other qualitative and quantitative data. Easy-to-use …

Despite some evidence that polymer addition may enhance the resistance of clay to
desiccation cracking, the topic remains under-researched. This study evaluated the effect of …

The sensitivity of sodium bentonite (Na-B) to adverse chemical interactions has spurred
development of enhanced bentonites (EBs) for geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) that provide …

The ability of geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) to contain acidic mining leachates is examined.
The results of saturated hydraulic conductivity (k) of two GCLs permeated with sulfuric acid …

The hydration and subsequent hydraulic performance of geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs)
depend on the water-retention curve (WRC) of the GCL. Because of the inherent difficulty in …

Water retention and hydration tests are reported for three needle punched geosynthetic clay
liners (GCLs). GCLs hydration and their maximum hydration capacity were assessed against …

The hydration of a needle-punched, thermally treated and powdered bentonite-based
geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) from four different subsoils was studied at optimum moisture …
