The Effects Of Waste Leachates On The Hydraulic Conductivity Of Natural Clays (volumes I And Ii)
Sanitary landfilling remains a viable alternative for disposal of the ever increasing volumes of municipal solid waste. Current landfill design practice requires the presence of a clay barrier (liner) that may consist of either a natural stratum or compacted clay borrow. The liner acts as a …
