Abstract:The objective of this study was to evaluate the change in the barrier performance of a geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) as a result of desiccation due to dehumidification at 55°C. Specimens of GCL that were damaged by desiccation were scanned using a micro-focused X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanner, and crack generation under two different dehumidification conditions was examined using the results of image analysis. Permeability tests were performed to estimate the hydraulic conductivity of GCL damaged by des… Show more
