Abstract: A major issue in the use of geomembranes for waste containment is an estimate of the material's durability (i.e., its lifetime) to various aging phenomena. For high density polyethylene geomembranes, which are the focus ...

Abstract: The remediation of infrastructure systems represents a massive public-works effort that probably rivals past activities such as dam/canal building in the 1930s and the construction of the interstate system more recently. ...

Abstract: A new index test method, the notched constant tensile load (NCTL) test, for evaluating high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) geomembranes regarding stress‐cracking resistance is presented in this paper. Eighteen commercially ...
