Over the past decade, geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) have gained widespread popularity
as a substitute for compacted clay liners in cover systems and composite bottom liners. They …

Geosynthetics are widely used in waste containment facilities, as these facilities have used
literally all types of geosynthetics in all identified functions (eg, filtration, reinforcement, etc.) …

The protection of groundwater and surface water from contamination by the escape of
contaminant from waste disposal is now an important consideration in many countries of the …

Amended bentonites have been proposed with the primary purpose of improving their
chemical compatibility relative to conventional bentonite. As these materials are relatively …

The self-healing of a GCL with artificial defects (circular holes and rectangular slits, both with
and without the carrier geotextile preserved below the holes) upon hydration on a Godfrey …

The results of an experimental test program for the permeability of a damaged, adhesive-
bonded, geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) are presented. GCL specimens were damaged to …

The self-healing of a GCL with a circular hole is examined in experiments where the GCL,
overlain by geomembrane, is hydrated from a silica sand subgrade (SSS) having three …

Over the past decade, geosynthetic clay liners have gained widespread popularity as a

The self-healing of five geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) with laboratory simulated down-
slope erosion defects (quasi-circular holes and linear slits where there is little or no …

A modified method for predicting self-healing capacity of GCL with circular or slit damages
has been presented. The usefulness of the method has been checked by applying it to two …
