Effect of GCL Properties on Shrinkage When Subjected to Wet-Dry Cycles
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
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 ...
Large-Scale Quantification of Wrinkles in a Smooth Black HDPE Geomembrane
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
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 ...
Ground Displacements from a Pipe-Bursting Experiment in Well-Graded Sand and Gravel
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
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 ...
