A fifth valuable reference devoted entirely to Geosynthetic Clay Liners (GCLs) has recently been published by ASTM in addition to the previous four GCL books. Ten-peer reviewed papers give you the latest information on geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) technology. Topics address the ability of the current ASTM standards to assess GCLs, and how they can be improved to better meet the needs of the industry; compatibility and longevity testing of GCLs; and new testing methods to advance the understanding of GCLs and their components. A link to the publishers of these references has been provided below. The latest publication covers topics such as:

Assessment of Clay Component
Durability of Clay Component
Evaluation of Current and Proposed GCL Standards
Movement of Compounds through the GCLs
