Abstract: The effects of aging of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) geomembranes on the diffusion and partitioning of a group of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are examined. Two different

Abstract: The use of complex permittivity and electrical conductivity to detect soil contamination by landfill leachate is discussed in this paper. The electrical conductivity and complex permittivity of a natural clayey soil are ...

Abstract: An experimental estimation of the chloride diffusion coefficient and the corresponding tortuosity factor for a saturated, intact mudstone is described. Laboratory tests simulating one‐dimensional diffusive transport are ...

Abstract: A 3D elasto‐plastic finite element model is used to examine the effect of construction over two existing tunnels. Tunnel deformation and the change in lining shape are compared with the field measurements of the York‐Mills ...

Abstract: Wrinkles are buckles or waves that develop from restrained thermal expansion when the geomembrane is left exposed to solar heating. Wrinkles can substantially reduce the effectiveness of the geomembrane as a hydraulic ...

Abstract: The results of a numerical model developed to describe the clogging of the leachate collection systems are compared with data from column experiments conducted with synthetic landfill leachate. A biofilm kinetic model is ...
