ABSTRACT
Landfills require effective containment systems to prevent the leakage of leachate into the underground environment. Cutoff walls are commonly employed for this purpose, with options including rigid and flexible designs. In areas where structural strength is not a primary concern, flexible cutoff walls offer lower permeability and environmental benefits due to their lack of cement content, thereby reducing CO2 emissions. This study investigates the use of dredged sediment and attapulgite as materials for flexible cutoff walls. Through analyses of bound water content, free water content, hydraulic conductivity, and scanning electron microscopy, we explore the impact of confining pressures on cutoff wall permeability. Our findings reveal that the consolidation induced by confining pressure does not significantly alter the bound water content within the cutoff wall. Instead, changes in water content are predominantly attributed to variations in free water content. Under identical confining pressures, we observe a positive correlation between permeability and hydraulic gradient, with permeability increasing as the hydraulic gradient rises, and anti-permeability decreasing accordingly. Additionally, when holding the hydraulic gradient constant, increasing confining pressure leads to a continuous decrease in permeability. Microscopic analyses highlight that high confining pressure not only compresses pore diameter but also alters pore morphology, thereby influencing permeability. This study contributes to the understanding of cutoff wall behavior under different conditions. Our results demonstrate that increasing confining pressure during soil consolidation effectively reduces cutoff wall permeability to meet design standards. However, the influence of high leachate head on permeability should also be considered. These findings provide a more environmentally friendly and lower permeability option for landfill sites, which is significant for the design and enhancement of containment systems in landfill sites.
