Membrane Behavior in Geosynthetic Clay Liners

Shackelford, C. D.

The containment function of geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) used for geoenvironmental applications can be enhanced if the GCLs exhibit semipermeable membrane behavior, or the ability of the GCL to restrict the migration of solutes (contaminants). In this regard, the potential for membrane behavior in traditional GCLs that rely upon the bentonite in the GCL as the primary hydraulic resisting component has been shown to be significant. This paper provides a summary of the results of research illustrating the significance of membrane behavior in GCLs, including the factors affecting the existence and magnitude of membrane behavior in GCLs. The presentation concludes with a discussion of the relevance of membrane behavior in GCLs for geoenvironmental containment applications.
