EFFECTS OF INFILTRATION AND EVAPORATION ON GEOSYNTHETIC CAPILLARY BARRIER PERFORMANCE (2010)
This study includes an experimental investigation of the transient movement of water in unsaturated soil layers underlain by a geocomposite drainage layer (GDL) during cycles of infiltration and evaporation
Reference: Canadian Geotechnical Journal, Vol. 47, No. 11, November, 2010
GEOSYNTHETIC CAPILLARY BARRIERS, CURRENT STATE OF KNOWLEDGE (2010)
This paper provides theoretical background, laboratory data and full-scale measurements useful in understanding the interaction between soils and geosynthetics under unsaturated conditions. It also includes an evaluation of the current state of knowledge regarding ...

ANALYSIS OF A LARGE DATABASE OF GCL INTERNAL SHEAR STRENGTH RESULTS (2005)
<p>A database of 414 large-scale direct shear test results was assembled to evaluate variables governing geosynthetic clay liner GCL internal shear strength. The tests were conducted by a single independent laboratory over 12 years using procedures consistent ...

RELIABILITY-BASED STABILITY ANALYSIS CONSIDERING GCL SHEAR STRENGTH VARIABILITY (2004)
The impact of different levels of uncertainty in geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) shear strength on landfill stability is evaluated in this study. The uncertainty in shear strength of the interface governing landfill stability is defined using statistical parameters ...
