It is completely optional in this regard and can be superseded by other existing or new guides or practices on the subject matter in whole or in part. Neither GRI, the Geosynthetic Institute, nor any of its related institutes, warrant or indemnifies any designs or materials produced according to this guide either at this time or in the future. 1. Scope 1.1 This guide covers most major design procedures necessary for the application of geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) in civil and environmental engineering projects. It describes the major design categories, some suggested parameters for consideration, and the relevant test methods to be utilized. This guide is not all encompassing and is not meant to address unique and/or extreme project specific requirements. 1.2 This guide is intended to aid designers and users of GCLs in establishing the possible adequacy of a candidate GCL to limit fluid migration and remain stable within the structure or system under consideration. 1.3 Units – The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. 1.4 This guide offers a set of instructions for performing one or more specific operations. This document cannot replace specialized education or related experience and must be used in conjunction with professional judgment. Not all aspects of this guide may be applicable in all circumstances.
