Influence of Normal Stress on Hydration of GCLS from Subsoil
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Geosynthetic Clay Liners (GCLs) are often used as part of a barrier system in modern landfills to prevent the escape of leachate into the surrounding environment. The hydraulic performance of GCLs depends on the degree of hydration from the underlying subsoil. The hydration behaviour of two GCL products from different underlying subsoils was examined under various normal stresses (0 to 8 kPa). The rate of hydration of GCLs significantly increased as the normal stress, provided by the waste or leachate collection system, increased from 0 to 8 kPa. For instance, the final equilibrium moisture content of the GCL was achieved in approximately 8 weeks when placed on sand subsoil under 8 kPa normal stress, while it took about 24 weeks for the same GCL under no normal stress. However, the effect of the normal stress on the final equilibrium moisture content of GCLs was not so significant. A normal stress of 2 kPa was shown to induce slightly higher equilibrium moisture uptake for most GCLs. Nevertheless, results indicated a meagre variation of the equilibrium moisture content as the normal stress increased from 2 to 8 kPa. The GCL manufacturing processes and the grain size distribution of the subsoil were shown to affect both the rate of hydration and the final equilibrium moisture content attained.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
