This paper provides theoretical background, laboratory data and full-scale measurements
useful in understanding the interaction between soils and geosynthetics under unsaturated …

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.) …

Historical tailings storage facilities (TSFs) are either abandoned or sparsely rehabilitated
promoting acid mine drainage (AMD) formation and heavy metal release. To sustainably …

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 …

Molecular diffusion is an important mechanism for gas transport in various natural and man-
made systems. This is particularly the case with soil covers installed on acid-generating …

Covers installed over waste disposal sites are used to control water and gas exchanges with
the surrounding environment. One example involves covers built to limit oxygen flux to …

Diffusion of contaminants can play a significant if not dominant role in many applications
encountered within the field of environmental geotechnics. The objective of this paper is to …

Various types of cover systems can be used to control water infiltration into waste disposal
sites. One promising option is to combine different types of soil to create a layered cover with …

Covers with capillary barrier effects (CCBE) are considered to be one of the most effective
ways to control acid mine drainage (AMD) production from mine wastes. The use of low …

Acid mine drainage (AMD) is often treated using active lime treatment, which generates a
significant amount of sludge that contains mainly metal hydroxide precipitates, calcium …
