Applications using measured values of the transport properties of concrete – III: predicting the transport of liquids through concrete barriers for waste containment

Abstract:

This chapter describes measurements of the transport of liquids through concrete barriers for waste containment. A computer model (which is described in Chapter 2) was used and the results were used to relate laboratory observations with site trials. Confidence limits for the results were obtained by running the model with successive data sets representing extreme values of the input data. The observed results from the site trials generally fell within the expected limits but there were some notable exceptions. It was concluded that transport modelling of real landfills ...
