...R. K. Rowe; N. Martinez Noboa; R. W. I. Brachman An experimental study of the effect of closed system and a limited study of open system freeze–thaw cycles on the interface transmissivity at applied stresses between 10 and 150 kPa is described. The effect of closed system freeze–thaw is most...

...R. Kerry Rowe; F. Jabin A series of laboratory tests were conducted to investigate the interface transmissivity, θ, between a 1.5 mm thick high-density polyethylene geomembrane (GMB) and a multicomponent geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) when permeated with a simulated municipal solid waste...

...A. Y. AbdelRazek; R. K. Rowe The interface transmissivity (θ) and hydraulic conductivity (k) are measured for two geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs), one with polymer-enhanced bentonite, when hydrated and permeated with saline (brine) solutions at three different concentrations...

... the interface between each GCL product and a 0.1 m thick cast-in-place concrete above the GCL over a 14-month period and, from this data, calculating the concrete/GCL interface transmissivity (θ); and (ii) the hydraulic conductivity (k) of the GCLs below poured concrete when exposed...

...J.-C. Chai; S. Hayashi; N. Khalili Fluid flow through a defect in the geomembrane of a composite geomembrane/soil liner (flow rate tests) and interface transmissivity tests between a geomembrane and a soil layer were conducted. The results are compared, and the effect of overburden pressure...
