<p>A database of 534 large-scale direct shear test results was assembled in this study to evaluate the interface shear strength between geosynthetic clay liners GCLs and geomembranes GMs . The tests were conducted between 1992 and 2003 by a single independent ...

During the past decades comprehensive investigations have been made on bentonite clays in order to find optimal components of the multi-barrier system of repositories for radioactive waste. The present study gives a mineralogical characterisation of some selected ...

The objective of this paper is to examine the influence of correlation length and hydraulic conductivity distribution on the probability of failure of a clay liner system. To achieve this objective, a two-dimensional (in plan) clayey liner system is simulated ...
