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 …

A model for the water retention behavior of unsaturated granular soil is developed by
extending the classic bundled cylindrical capillary representation of pore space to a …

Covers of the nuclear waste repository are of great significance to the long-term safe storage
and disposal of nuclear wastes. Capillary barriers have proven to be effective to resist the …

Artificial capillary barriers (CBs) are used to improve root zone conditions as they can keep
water and nutrients in the root zone by limiting downward percolation. Numerical analysis is …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the geotechnical conditions of the final cover
layer of the Western Metropolitan Sanitary Landfill of Caucaia (ASMOC), in which its …

Surface and interfacial tensions are key parameters affecting nonaqueous‐phase liquid
(NAPL) movement and redistribution in the subsurface after spill events. In this study, the …

Surfactants (ie, solutes that reduce the surface tension of water) exist in the subsurface
either naturally or are introduced to the subsurface due to anthropogenic activities (eg …

Previous simulations of the behavior of a CO2 plume from a discrete line source near the
ground surface have generally assumed that the water-table, soil layering, and land surface …

The effect of ionic strength of soil water on surfactant-induced unsaturated flow is
investigated for the anionic surfactant DOWFAX 8390. Instrumented infiltration experiments …

Wetting is the process where asphalt infiltrates into the aggregate surface, which is important
for the bonding between asphalt and aggregates. In this paper, the aggregate surface …
