Modeling the Salinity Effect on the Water Retention Curve of Geosynthetic Clay Liner (GCL) on the Drying Path
Original research · free full-paper access · authors credited
Research overview
Measures GCL water-retention behaviour under different sodium-chloride concentrations and models the drying path. Highlights salt and suction effects; water-retention relationships alone do not demonstrate hydraulic compatibility or leakage performance.
