A June 2003 symposium brought together current knowledge on a relatively new product used in containment systems. Papers from the symposium describe the ability of ASTM standards to assess geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs), discuss needed improvements to GCL standards, and examine GCL testing methods. Papers are in sections on assessment of clay components, durability of clay components, evaluation of current and proposed GCL standards, and movements of compounds through GCLs. There is no subject index. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com). |
