Abstract: To reduce the risk of liner failures, to control costs, and to make landfills acceptable to the public, a design is suggested in which chemical leachate migration is prevented by artificially creating a reversed flow of ...

Abstract: Soil handling and liner construction practices at hazardous waste management facilities are documented. Soil characterizations, processing techniques, construction methods, and quality control of constructed liners are ...

Abstract: The range of overburden pressures induced on compacted clay liners beneath landfills, surface impoundments, and waste piles is documented, and loading pressures for consolidometer hydraulic conductivity testing of a compacted ...

Abstract: The widespread use of clays as liner materials for hazardous waste disposal facilities has sparked an interest in the effects that inorganic chemicals have on the hydraulic conductivity of clays. Three natural clays are ...
