A new method of evaluating strains and predicting required protection layers that are placed over geomembranes is developed based on the combined effects clay strength stiffness cushioning effect a nonwoven layer. Plots giving geotextile for different maximum presented expected landfill pressures under 300 kPa angular, 38 mm gravel above geomembrane liner both drained undrained loading conditio...

It is well known that geomembranes frequently and easily fail at the seams, which has been a ubiquitous problem in various applications. To avoid failure of geomembrane photocuring was carried out with 1~5% photoinitiator 2% carbon black powder. This can be sprayed cured on soil surface. The obtained then used as barrier, separator, or reinforcement. In this study, direct shear tests were aim t...

Geomembranes are an important component of modern engineered barriers to prevent the infiltration of stormwater and runoff into contaminated soil and rock as well as waste containment facilities--a function generally described as a geomembrane cover. This paper presents a case history involving a novel implementation of a geomembrane cover system. Due to this novelty, the design engineers neede...

This study was conducted to determine long-term thermal regime of landfill liner systems using a field temperature monitoring program and numerical analysis of heat transfer. Temperatures in liner systems that contain geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) were monitored prior and subsequent to waste placement. Data were collected in three cells at a landfill in Midwestern USA for more than five years...

There are still many unmanaged landfills around the world that pose significant potential environmental problems. One of largest in Europe, which has been used for more than 40 years to deposit waste from Serbia’s capital, Belgrade, is Vinča landfill. A revitalization and extension this landfill was proposed would allow its sustainable operation future. The project considered building a capping...
