Geosynthetic Clay Liners for Waste Containment Facilities, Hardcover by Bouazza, Abdelmalek (EDT); Bowders, John J. (EDT), ISBN 0415467330, ISBN-13 9780415467339, Brand New, Free shipping in the US

Civil engineers from industrialized countries offer a broad view of the materials and manufacture of the liners and their current use in industrial and sometimes even municipal waste containment. After background and an overview, they cover the durability and lifetime of the geotextile fibers of geosynthesic clay liners, mineralogy and engineering properties of bentonite, hydraulic conductivity of the liners, contaminant transport, chemico-osmosis and solute transport through the liners, gas permeability, internal and interface shear strength, slope stability, hydrological performance by final covers containing them, oxygen diffusion through them, and field observations of their behavior.
