The feasibility of mudstone material as a natural landfill liner

摘要

This paper presents the results of a series of laboratory tests investigating on physical properties and hydraulic conductive behaviors of a mudstone material obtained from southwestern Taiwan. The Atterberg limits and particle-size distribution examinations showed the liquid Limit = 34.1/100, the plasticity index = 15.2/100, the percentage fines (< No. 200 sieve) ≥ 95.1 /100, the Percentage of clay (< 2 μ m) ≥ 30/100, and the activity = 0.5.
