Abstract: A cumulative mass approach for laboratory column testing using an analytical solution for miscible transport through soil is presented. The cumulative mass approach differs from the more traditional approach for column ...

Abstract: Concepts critical for the evaluation of the miscible transport parameters from laboratory soil columns are presented. Failure to recognize a distinction between solute concentrations within the soil and solute concentrations ...

Abstract: The hydraulic conductivity

Abstract: The consolidation behavior of a geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) was evaluated by consolidating duplicate specimens of the GCL in a flexible-wall cell to a final effective stress,

Abstract: The containment function of clay barriers used for waste containment applications (e.g., landfills) can be enhanced if such clays exhibit membrane behavior or the ability to restrict the migration of solutes (e.g., ...

Abstract: The hypothesis that the substitution of attapulgite clay for bentonite in an otherwise sand-bentonite (S-B) mixture will improve the resistance to change in hydraulic conductivity of the mixture upon permeation with calcium ...
