6 CONCLUSIONS
Twenty two (22) papers have been allocated to this session.
They described and presented laboratory and field studies and
numerical modelling addressing numerous topics which
included novel materials, chemical compatibility of barrier
materials, unsaturated behaviour of geosynthetic liners,
geosynthetic liner interface behaviour, waste geotechnical
properties, phytoremediation, permeable reactive barriers, soil
remediation, image analysis, natural leaching of heavy metals
and biogeotechnology This general report offers a review of all
the papers submitted to this session and highlights the major
findings reported by the authors of these papers.
