Abstract: The potential shrinkage of eight different geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) subjected to wetting and drying cycles is examined. It is shown that the initial (e.g, off-the-roll) moisture content may affect the initial shrinkage ...

Abstract: Wrinkles are buckles or waves that develop from restrained thermal expansion when the geomembrane is left exposed to solar heating. Wrinkles can substantially reduce the effectiveness of the geomembrane as a hydraulic ...

Abstract: Pipe bursting is a construction technique that involves the replacement of an existing buried pipe with potentially much less surface disturbance than traditional cut and cover construction. However, excessive ground ...
