... of this interaction, the performance of the system as a whole is much better than the individual contributions of each of the parts. Issues discussed in this context are: landfill covers and the role that they play; the effect of landfill operations such as the waste placement and leachate recirculation on liner...

...R. K. Rowe; M. Z. Islam; Y. G. Hsuan Results of series of tests examining the effect of different chemical constituents found in municipal solid waste leachate on the degradation of a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) geomembrane are reported. Geomembrane samples were incubated in four synthetic...

...J. P. Giroud; A. Zhao; H. M. Tomlinson; J. G. Zornberg The focus of this paper is on applications (e.g. some leachate collection layers in landfills) where a drainage system consists of a geocomposite overlain by a sand layer. If the geocomposite does not have sufficient flow capacity to convey all...

...J.P. Giroud; A. Zhao; R. Bonaparte Design engineers often assume that a geosynthetic liquid collection layer and a granular liquid collection layer having the same hydraulic transmissivity are equivalent. In the United States, such equivalency is often mandated by regulations for leachate...
