Observations of bentonite erosion from solar-driven moisture migration in GCLs covered only by a black geomembrane

ABSTRACT: Manufacturers of geosynthetic liner materials recommend that composite geomembrane/geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) be covered in a timely fashion to avoid potential issues that may arise ...
