Composite Sand–Clay Infrastructural Soil Fills: Characteristic Consolidation and Hydraulic Properties by Burcu Dışkaya, Tanay Karademir

“…In the design construction of infrastructural projects comprised of geotechnical applications, including composite soil fill layers, compacted sand-clay soil fills are widely preferred as barrier layers, particularly in solid waste landfills, to minimize leakage, to prevent leachate from entering into groundwater. When bentonite clay with high water absorption capacity and low hydraulic conductivity is mixed with sand possessing relatively enhanced frictional properties, greater shear strength capacity, an effective fill material exhibiting low sensitivity to frost, and low volume change in case of wetting, drying can be obtained. …”
