| Summary: | and reliability of the measurements. development stages of the suction measuring device are experiments were conducted with clay soils of predetermined explained. A calibration model is proposed. The replacement However, when the clay liner compacted in this way is located in an and region, it loses water and cracks. Cracks decrease laboratory test method to determine the soil suction is moisture content with a suitable type of compaction is the most common way of decreasing liner hydraulic conductivity. of the temperature sensor and modification of the air tubing proposed. A dew point hygrometer was used to measure the soil suction. Calibration experiments were run with salt solutions at different osmotic suction levels. Control suction with a transistor psychrometer. The design and The compaction of the landfill clay liner at wet of optimum the liner and the and region soil. In this research, a The loss of water is due to the suction head gradient between the performance of the clay liner as a contaminant barrier. used in the device are recommended to improve the accuracy |
