Calculating and Limiting Local Strains in Geomembranes From Gravel Indentations
(2013-10-02)
Short-term tensile strains that arise from local gravel indentations in municipal solid waste landfill base geomembrane liners are investigated with an emphasis on quantifying how strains are obtained and providing methods ...
Durability of HDPE Geomembranes for Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Applications
(2013-11-27)
A series of laboratory accelerated immersion tests are used to examine the effects of different chemicals found in municipal solid waste leachate, geomembrane thickness, and incubation temperatures on the degradation of ...
Longevity of HDPE Geomembranes in Geoenvironmental Applications
(2014-02-28)
With sufficient time, a high density polyethylene geomembrane will degrade and lose its engineering properties until ruptures signal the end of its service-life. This thesis examines the longevity of nine different ...
Ageing of HDPE Geomembranes Used to Contain Landfill Leachate or Hydrocarbon Spills
(2009-01-14)
The ageing of high density polyethylene geomembrane (GM) liners used to minimize advection and diffusion of contaminants in municipal solid waste landfill leachate and in hydrocarbon spills to the environment is examined.
The ...
Long-Term Performance of HDPE Geomembranes as Landfill Liners
(2009-02-02)
High density polyethylene (HDPE) geomembranes are normally used as part of a composite liner for waste containment facilities such as municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills and heap leach pads. Field conditions, which include ...
Physical response of composite geomembrane / geosynthetic clay liners under simulated landfill conditions
(2008-09-05)
The physical response of composite landfill liners consisting of a geomembrane on top of a geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) are examined under simulated landfill conditions. The deformation and strains of a 1.5-mm-thick ...
Calculating Strain and Stress in Geomembranes at Gravel Indentations
New methods were developed, validated and applied to calculate strain and stress in geomembrane liners from the local deformed shape imposed by overlying coarse gravel under vertical pressure. Previous strain calculation ...
