title = "Effect of evaporation on the performance of capillary barriers with recycled asphalt material",
abstract = "A capillary barrier is a cover system to reduce water infiltration. It has been applied in landfills and slope stabilization. The objective of this study is to investigate the performance of a capillary barrier made from recycled asphalt under infiltration and evaporation fluxes. A series of infiltration and evaporation experiments were conducted in a column test. The study showed that evaporative flux affected the pore-water pressure head in the capillary barrier.A more negative initial condition of pore-water pressure head was achieved with the application of evaporative flux. This initial condition resulted in the column storing more water before breakthrough occurred. However, the increase in water storage was found to be relatively small. The small increase could be attributed to the fact that water had drained downwards and as a result the water availability in the fine-grained layer was low. The results of laboratory experiments agreed well with the results of numerical modeling.",
