Abstract
The state of the art in clay barrier technology for shallow land waste disposal facilities is presented. Particular attention is given to the effect of contaminant transport on the relevant engineering properties of soils. The changes in the hydraulic conductivity and shear strength are discussed with specific reference to the structure of the soil. The practical implications of the results of ongoing studies and the present state of the art on the use of compacted clay barriers for hazardous waste landfills are summarized.Keywords
