In this work, calcium carbide residue (CCR) and water treatment residue (WTR) were used in combination with clay to produce a composite bottom clay liner for sanitary landfills. The effects of these two residues on the performance of a composite bottom clay liner by means of compressive strength development and the coefficient of permeability were studied. The WTR was classified as high plasticity silt according to the Unified Soil Classification System and was used to replace clay with clay:WTR ratios of
