The objective of this project is to explore the problem of                      dessication cracking of clay liners used to cap hazardous waste                 landfills.  The project will quantify the soil stresses which                   accompany cracking, the resulting crack geometry and its time                   variation, and the mechanics of flow through the cracked soil.                  The findings will be incorporated in an existing numerical model                of flow through clay liners.  The developments from this project                are expected to significantly expand previous research in the                   flow  through clay liners, and provide a base for even more                     sophisticated studies of the problem.  The research is expected                 to impact landfill designers, regulatory agencies, contaminant                  transport modeling, and others involved in                                      infiltration/percolation studies or the design of containment                   systems.
