Abstract: Design- and construction-related factors that affect leakage through geomembranes, used either alone or in a composite liner, are examined. The development, detection, and number of holes that can develop during construction ...

Abstract: A numerical technique for the analysis of geotextile reinforced em bankments is outlined. This technique permits consideration of soil‐reinforcement interaction, slip at the soil‐fabric interface, plastic failure within ...

Abstract: Organic contaminant diffusion through a novel multilayer coextruded vapor barrier is examined for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes (BTEX), trichloroethylene (TCE), and tetrachloroethylene (PCE). The vapor barrier ...

Abstract: Changes in geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) properties over time are examined for the case in which the GCL (1) rests directly on a

Abstract: The results of two series of accelerated aging tests are reported. Both series of tests were conducted at temperatures of 85, 70, 55, and

Abstract: Laboratory-accelerated aging experiments conducted to examine the depletion of antioxidant from a geomembrane (GM) underlain by a geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) are described. Three different “protection” layers between the ...

Abstract: A numerical model is used to estimate the service life and clogging of gravel leachate drainage layers with a filter separator layer, such as those used in municipal solid waste landfills. A filter separator layer between ...
