Abstract:Environmental conditions have become a concern when involving the use of Geosynthetics clay liners (GCLs) as leachate barriers, particularly because they can be subjected to daily thermal cycles during construction and operation of landfills, which can affect their properties. This paper investigates the hydration behavior of a nonwoven geotextile carrier-GCL in contact with lateritic subsoils under isothermal and simulated thermal conditions as commonly found in tropical regions. A thermal insulate testing bo… Show more
