Over the past decade, geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) have gained widespread popularity
as a substitute for compacted clay liners in cover systems and composite bottom liners. They …

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 protection of groundwater and surface water from contamination by the escape of
contaminant from waste disposal is now an important consideration in many countries of the …

Fundamental factors and testing considerations affecting the evaluation of the hydraulic
conductivity of geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) permeated with non-standard liquids (ie …

The influence of single-species salt solutions of various concentration, cation valence, and
pH on swelling and hydraulic conductivity of nonprehydrated GCLs was examined. At similar …

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 influence of multispecies inorganic solutions on swelling and hydraulic conductivity of
non-prehydrated geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) containing sodium bentonite was …

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 …

Hydraulic conductivity tests were conducted on two commercially available bentonite–
polymer composite (BPC) geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) containing the same dry blend of …

The results of long-term hydraulic conductivity test results on two modified bentonite
materials, a multiswellable bentonite (MSB) and a dense-prehydrated geosynthetic clay liner …
