Polymer-amended bentonite is a kind of high-performance bentonite material, which has
been widely researched and applied in barrier engineering. This paper summarizes the …

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 …

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

Abstract Machine learning models (MLMs) were developed to predict saturated hydraulic
conductivity of compacted soil barriers and help to identify appropriate soils for the …

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 …

Experiments were conducted to evaluate the hydraulic conductivity of geosynthetic clay
liners (GCLs) containing bentonite–polymer composites (BPCs) permeated with coal …

Polymer-modified bentonite has been widely used in vertical cutoff walls due to its good
barrier properties. This paper illustrates the changes in fissure development and …

Hydraulic conductivity of conventional mock sodium bentonite (Na–B) and bentonite-
polymer (B–P) geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) were evaluated with three synthetic leachates …

The hydraulic performance of geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) comprising anionic polymer–
enhanced bentonites (EBs), or EB-GCLs, based on permeation with 500 mM NaCl and 167 …

Hydraulic conductivity of seven geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) to synthetic coal combustion
product (CCP) leachates were evaluated in this study. The leachates are chemically …
