The rapid accumulation of plastic waste is driving international demand for renewable
plastics with superior qualities (eg, full biodegradability to CO 2 without harmful byproducts) …

Groundwater contamination by leachate is the most damaging environmental impact over
the entire life of a hazardous waste landfill (HWL). With the number of HWL facilities in China …

The factors that may affect short-term leakage through composite liners are examined. It is
shown that the leakage through composite liners is only a very small fraction of that …

Abstract Design-and construction-related factors that affect leakage through geomembranes,
used either alone or in a composite liner, are examined. The development, detection, and …

The peak shear strength of clayey soil-geomembrane interfaces is a vital parameter for the
design of relevant engineering infrastructure. However, due to the large number of influence …

The implications of the tensile stress/strain developed in high density polyethylene (HDPE)
geomembranes (GMB) is explored in the context of a reduction in stress crack resistance …

Develo** novel renewable (and preferably biodegradable) materials has become
recurrent due to the growing concerns with environmental impacts of high volumes of plastic …

Mine owners and operators are presented today with a diverse range of geosynthetic
products which all appear to provide similar benefits. Key factors in selecting geosynthetics …

Aging of the same geomembrane immersed in the same four synthetic municipal solid waste
leachates tested by Rowe et al.(2008) for 2.65 years is continued for an additional 6.5 years …

The long-term performance of a geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) above a drainage layer and a
geocomposite drain (GCD) are investigated. Full-scale tests are used to:(i) assess the …
