Abstract: This paper describes a study of the physical effects of exposing three geosynthetics commonly used in waste containment systems (a geomembrane, geotextile, and drainage geocomposite) to a synthetic acidic mine drainage ...

Abstract: Hydraulic properties of soils used for water balance covers measured at the time of construction and one to four years after construction are compared to assess how the hydraulic properties of cover soils change over time ...

Abstract: Unsaturated hydraulic conductivities were measured in the laboratory and the field for two compacted fine-grained soils used as barrier layers in landfill final covers. The instantaneous profile method was used for the ...

Abstract: A field test was conducted to determine if freeze-thaw cycles cause increases in hydraulic conductivity in the field, as has been observed in laboratory tests. A test pad of compacted clay was instrumented for monitoring ...

Abstract: Predictions of surface runoff

Abstract: Water-balance predictions made using four codes (UNSAT-H, VADOSE/W, HYDRUS, and LEACHM) are compared with water-balance data from a test section located in a semiarid climate simulating a monolithic water-balance cover. ...
