The effect of Adding Sand to Clay Soils Which Used as Liners at Landfill Sites on Hydraulic Conductivity


Abstract in English

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).
