Abstract
This paper reviews the different requirements imposed from the European harmonised standards for the use of different types of drainage geocomposites in the capping systems of landfills. The results of specific experimental investigations on the behaviour of drainage geocomposites in such applications are presented.Keywords
- Capping systems
- Drainage geocomposite
- Harmonized standards
