Field instrumentation for performance assessment of Geobarrier System by Rahardjo, Harianto, Qian, Zhai, Satyanaga, Alfrendo, Leong, Eng Choon, Wang, Chien Looi, Wong, Johnny Liang Heng

“…The saturated hydraulic conductivity of a coarse-grained material is normally higher than that of a fine-grained material. However, the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity of the coarse-grained material decreases much faster than that of the fine-grained material with increasing matric suction and consequently the coarse-grained material can be less permeable than the fine-grained material in unsaturated condition. …”
