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 …

The hydraulic and swelling properties of a polymerized bentonite (PB), and the self-healing
capacity of a geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) using the PB as the core material (PB-GCL) were …

Geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) are frequently used in lieu of, or as an augmentation to,
compacted clay liners as secondary hydraulic barriers in municipal solid waste containment …

This paper describes a test device and test method for measuring the gas permeability of
partially saturated geosynthetic clay liners. The tests were carried out on a commercially …

An important component of modern landfills is the liner system for the prevention of leachate
contamination of surrounding ground. Among landfill liner systems, geosynthetic clay liner …

Self-healing capacities of geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) have been investigated using
laboratory leakage rate tests. Two types of GCL were tested. The first type was a …

Dense prehydrated geosynthetic clay liners (DPH-GCLs) are a particular type of GCL which,
unlike conventional GCLs manufactured with dry bentonite, contain bentonite prehydrated …

In this study, the effects of some structural parameters and also two kinds of additives on
hydraulic performance, self-healing ability and wet/dry durability of GCL are experimentally …
