Geosynthetic Clay Liners for Waste Containment Facilities

Informationen zum Autor Abdelmalek Bouazza, John J. Bowders Jr. Klappentext This book gives a comprehensive and authoritative review of the current state of practice on geosynthetic clay liners in waste containments. It provides an insight into individual materials (bentonite and the associated geosynthetics) and the manufacturing processes. This is followed by the coverage of important topics such as hydraulic conductivity, chemical compatibility, contaminant transport, gas migration, shear strength and slope stability, and field performance. Zusammenfassung Increasingly stringent regulation of pollution and waste production worldwide drives the need to isolate contaminants that pose a threat to human and environmental health by using engineered barrier systems involving the use of low permeable materials. This book offers a review of the practice on geosynthetic clay liners in waste containments. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. Background and Overview of Geosynthetic Clay Liners 2.
