Mechanical Strength, Water Seepage and Microstructure of a Novel Landfill Solidified Sludge Liner Material
the temperature inside a landfill can be as high as 70 °C, with the corresponding temperature at the liner and sealing barrier as high as 50 °C [https://www.mdpi.com/2227-9717/10/8/1641/htm#B8-processes-10-01641]. Such high temperatures lead to critical levels of water loss and drying of CCL or GCL materials. High loads and dry–wet cycles ultimately trigger deformation and cracking of CCL as well as tearing of HDPE geomembranes and GCL; such damage to the liner results in the escape of leachate from the barrier system.
