COMPACTED CLAY LINERS AND COVERS FOR ARID SITES. DISCUSSION AND CLOSURE

A discussion of a paper with the aforementioned title by Daniel and Wu, published in this journal (Volume 119, Number 2, February 1993), is presented. The discussion focuses on the applicability of this study on desiccation cracking of clay liners/covers to a more geographically extensive area. Horvath notes that the authors concentrate on arid sites; however, the study has wider applicability. Horvath also comments on one of the proposed strategies--a soil layer to protect clay liners--noting a more cost-effective alternative is expanded polystyrene. Discussion is followed by closure from the authors.
