Abstract: Analytical solutions are presented for analyzing volatile organic compound (VOC) diffusion through intact composite landfill liners for two scenarios with boundary conditions at the base of either a VOC concentration of ...

Abstract: Analytical solutions for conservative solute diffusion in one-dimensional double-layered porous media are presented in this paper. These solutions are applicable to various combinations of fixed solute concentration and ...

Abstract: Compaction is an essential compression process for sedimentary soils. Compared with in-depth studies on granular soil behaviors, numerical modeling of clay compaction is still in its infancy. This study presents an all-atomic ...

Abstract: The soil–bentonite cutoff wall (SB wall) is commonly employed as a barrier at contaminated sites. However, recent research has revealed that the performance of the SB wall material can significantly deteriorate due to the ...

Abstract: A mathematical model for calculating gas pressure profiles in layered landfill systems is presented. Solutions to scenarios considering a zero-pressure top boundary condition and a zero gas flux or fixed gas pressure bottom ...

Abstract: Landfill gas (LFG) is generated in municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills because of the decomposition of degradable components. Gas pressure within the landfilled MSWs is of importance as cover or landfill stability may ...

Abstract: Slurry trench cutoff walls with low-permeability backfill material, such as soil-bentonite and slag-cement-bentonite, are used widely for containment of subsurface pollution. In the design of slurry walls the potential ...

Abstract: Batch equilibrium tests with various soil-liquid ratios (S/L=1∶2.5, 1∶5, 1∶10, and 1∶20) and column tests with a flow interruption and rest period were performed to evaluate the adsorption behavior of kaolin. Identical ...
