1. The primary performance factors are clay
quality, amount of clay used per unit area,
and uniformity.
In configurations using a geomembrane, the
clay is affixed using an adhesive.
The landfill operator should test ensure that
its hydraulic conductivity.
Provide barrier systems with low hydraulic
conductivity.
The quality of the clay used affects a GCL’s
hydraulic characteristics.
In particular, a geotextile-backed GCL, with
bentonite affixed via stitchbonding provides
additional internal resistance to shear in the
clay layer.
As primary ingredient and affixed by needle
punching to a woven or nonwoven upper
geotextile and a nonwoven lower geotextile
Mixed with water-soluble adhesive and
bonded or stitchbonded to a woven upper
and lower geotextile.
Mixed with an adhesive and bonded to a
blend of high density polyethylene and very
low density polyethylene.
Installers cover the GCL with soil, the GCL
hydrates by drawing moisture from the soil.
To install it must allow enough seam overlap
at adjoining sheets to guard against the
potential opening of the barrier systems.
