Abstract: Design- and construction-related factors that affect leakage through geomembranes, used either alone or in a composite liner, are examined. The development, detection, and number of holes that can develop during construction ...

Abstract: The potential for the desiccation of a geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) forming part of a single composite landfill liner is evaluated. A thermohydromechanical model is used to identify conditions likely to cause desiccation. ...

Abstract: A numerical technique for the analysis of geotextile reinforced em bankments is outlined. This technique permits consideration of soil‐reinforcement interaction, slip at the soil‐fabric interface, plastic failure within ...

Abstract: Organic contaminant diffusion through a novel multilayer coextruded vapor barrier is examined for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes (BTEX), trichloroethylene (TCE), and tetrachloroethylene (PCE). The vapor barrier ...

Abstract: The migration of contaminants through a 10-mm-diameter hole (0.785 cm

Abstract: Changes in geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) properties over time are examined for the case in which the GCL (1) rests directly on a

Abstract: A two-dimensional numerical model, BioClog, is used to estimate the leachate characteristics and leachate-induced clogging of laboratory mesocosms permeated with real municipal solid waste landfill leachate. The model is ...
