Abstract
AbstractTests were conducted to assess how permeation with synthetic and real municipal solid waste (MSW) leachate affects the hydraulic conductivity and exchange complex of geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs). GCLs were arranged in a composite barrier configuration for hydration on moist compacted subgrades for 30 or 90 days. After hydration, the geomembrane and subgrade soil were removed and the GCLs were permeated with typical and strong synthetic and real MSW leachates at different confining stresses for 342 to 1,281 days (4.9 to 148.9 pore volumes of flow). For most tests, hydraulic and chemical termination criteria were met (referred to as equilibrium), and in many cases the tests were conducted long after these criteria were achieved. Hydraulic conductivity of the GCLs increased no more than 5.6 times the hydraulic conductivity to deionized water (DIW), even though more than 80% of the sodium (Na) in the bentonite was replaced by other cations [predominantly calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg)]. Very long ...
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering covers the broad area of practice known as geotechnical engineering. Papers are welcomed on topics such as foundations, retaining structures, soil dynamics, engineering behavior of soil and rock, site characterization, slope stability, dams, rock engineering, earthquake engineering, environmental geotechnics, geosynthetics, computer modeling, groundwater monitoring and restoration, and coastal and geotechnical ocean engineering. Authors are also encouraged to submit papers on new and emerging topics within the general discipline of geotechnical engineering. Theoretical papers are welcomed, but there should be a clear and significant potential for practical application of the theory. Practice-oriented papers and case studies are particularly welcomed and encouraged.
