TL;DR: A review of the main findings is presented with the focus on the critical aspects affecting the service life of GCLs from this work, a general insight is gained on the design implications for systems that incorporate geosynthetic clay liners.

TL;DR: In this article, the results of a series of small-scale model column tests that were undertaken to investigate the behaviour of geogrid encased columns were discussed. And the results indicated a steady reduction in vertical strain with increasing encased length for both isolated columns and group columns and a significant increase in column stiffness and further reduction in column strain was observed for fully-encased columns.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of a laboratory study of the thermal conductivity of six soils and three rock types was experimentally measured using both a thermal needle probe and a divided bar apparatus.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the thermally induced volume change occurring under a drained heating condition in saturated fine-grained soils and found that saturated fine grained soils exhibit a thermally-induced volume change.

TL;DR: In this article, an experimental investigation carried out to study thermally induced volume changes under drained heating condition and temperature induced excess pore water pressure under undrained heating condition of soft Bangkok clay was conducted.
