A PROBABILISTIC ASSESSMENT OF CLAY LINER HYDRAULIC CONDUCTIVITY

The overall objective of this study was to review the issues relating to the setting of permeability limits and evaluate the use of probabilistic assessment techniques for assessing the degree of compliance with specifications. Specifically, the objectives were:
- Establish the precision and variability inherent in selected sampling and testing methods for a constructed clay landfill wall by statistical techniques;
- Review the applicability of indirect testing in the prediction of permeabilities; and
- Provide recommendations for the future use of probabilistic techniques in relation to verification of quality of construction of clay structures in landfills.

The hydraulic conductivity requirement for mineral liners used in landfill applications is generally required to be no greater than 1x10-9 m/s. However, the assessment of lining system performance is often carried out using stochastic techniques with a probability density function used to describe the clay hydraulic conductivity values used. This paper presents the results of a programme of sampling and laboratory testing of an engineered clay liner in which sampling methods, testing methods and statistical modelling techniques were investigated to assess their importance with respect to liner performance.

In the context of the European Climate Law (EU) 2021/1119), the Governance Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 and the Nature Restoration Regulation (EU) 2024/1991, the KAnG came into force on July 1, 2024.

Transformatives Klimarecht: Raum, Zeit, Gesellschaft

This article contends that climate law should be conceived as inherently transformative in a double sense. The law not only guides the necessary transformation of economy and society, but is itself undergoing transformation.
