In this study, the effect of temperature on volume strains in three
types of local clay soils was studied after adding different percentages of
sand for each soil (10%-20%-30%40%-50%) when temperatures change
from (20-60)° C to be used as liners i
n solid waste landfill sites . The
results of the study showed that the mixing of sand with the clay played a
key role in reducing the magnitude of volume strains between (24-27%)
of the value of strains.
This study investigated the effect of adding different
percentages of sand to several types of clay soils, Which used as
liners at solid waste landfill sites in order to find the best mixing
ratio (sand - clay).
