The state-of-the-art for barriers systems control of pollution migration and hydraulic
structures including liner systems for landfills, mine waste, and dams/lagoons are discussed …

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 …

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 …

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 available evidence suggests that both geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) and composite
liners with a geomembrane (GMB) over a clay liner have performed extremely well at …

Experiments were conducted to evaluate cation exchange during hydration of geosynthetic
clay liners (GCLs) used in composite hydraulic barriers and the effect on their hydraulic …

The hydration of Geosynthetic Clay Liners (GCLs) from underlying clayey sand subsoil (SC)
is studied. The effect of product type and initial subsoil moisture content on GCL hydration is …

Granular bentonite (GB) with extended grain size distribution, a candidate material to
construct engineered barriers, has low water permeability, high swelling potential and self …

The effects of the silt aggregation, compaction density, and water content of the subgrade on
the hydration of five different geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) products is reported based on a …

Abstract Geosynthetic Clay Liner (GCL) systems are used as efficient hydraulic barriers in
landfills for the disposal of hazardous municipal wastes. Along with geotextiles, bentonite …
