Notched Constant Tensile Load (NCTL) Test for High-Density Polyethylene Geomembranes
A modification of an old test method, the notched constant tensile load (NCTL) test, is reintroduced to evaluate the stress-cracking performance of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) geomembranes. In this modified test, notched dumbbell-shaped specimens are subjected to a range of constant tensile loads in a 10% Igepal (CO-630) solution at 50°C. The method has been proposed to ASTM and is being ...

Size Effects for Multi-Axial Tension Testing of HDPE and PVC Geomembranes
Geosynthetics may be subjected to multi-axial stress states from plane strain loading, such as dragdown along lined slopes and from out-of-plane loading conditions imposed by localized subsidence beneath waste containment cover and liner systems. The multiaxial tension test is useful in evaluating the performance of geosynthetics subjected to multi-axial stress states. However, widespread ...

Costs and Benefits of Geomembrane Liner Installation CQA
ABSTRACT Because the cost of third-party construction quality assurance (CQA) of geomembrane liner installations is typically comparable to the cost of the geomembrane liner, CQA must be optimized to obtain the most benefit for the owner, rate payers, and environment. A regulation-based CQA protocol usually includes testing the material, observing the quality control (QC) program of the liner ...

Green Roofs - Case Study
The green roofs of the buildings are completely covered with vegetation. In event of a leakage in its sealing system, its technically very difficult or in some cases even impossible to locate and repair the leakage. For that reason we developed a Sensor DDS system which is permanently implemented into the roof design. Solution for flat roofs – SENSOR DDS technology The most used and ...

Tailings Pond Geomembrane Construction Plan and Construction Precautions
The development of the mining industry brings not only a large amount of ore but also many tailings problems to be solved. Yet, tailings stored in tailings ponds often contain a large number of metals, heavy metals, and mineral processing residues. Once environmental pollution occurs, the consequences will be very serious. Thus, anti-seepage measures are usually taken for tailings ponds. The ...

Composite Geomembrane Liner for Reservoir Project in Thailand - Case Study
Composite geomembrane liner is a water impermeable material composed of geotextile and geomembrane. The composite geomembrane liner has the functions and advantages of both geotextiles and geomembranes. The geotextile layer increases essential tensile strength and the geomembrane layer provides excellent impermeable, leak and moisture proof. Composite geomembrane is mainly used for anti-seepage ...

Non-Hazardous Landfill - Case Study
Municipal solid waste landfill is site for domestic day-to-day waste disposal. Its also known as tip, rubbish dump, dumping ground, etc. Material stored at solid waste landfill is isolated from the environment by sealing layer which can be HDPE or LDPE or even PVC geomembrane. If such geomembrane leaks, the contaminant from landfill is spreading in direction of the groundwater flow. This way it ...

Cutting holes for testing vs. testing for holes
When it comes to geomembrane quality assurance, are destructive testing practices as effective as basic leak detection technologies? The function of a geomembrane liner is to prevent liquid flow to the environment. CQA measures should be judged on how effective they are in meeting this requirement. This article critically examines the industry’s current means of providing confidence that ...

ASTM Standard Fish Ponds HDPE Geomembrane Plastic Film
Geomembrane is a synthetic membrane lining or barrier with very low permeability. It is used with any geotechnical engineering-related materials to control fluid (or gas) migration in man-made projects, structures, or systems. Geomembranes are made of thin continuous polymer sheets, but they can also be made by impregnating geotextiles with asphalt, elastomers, or polymer sprays, or as multilayer ...

Enhanced Geomembrane CQA through proper application of geomembrane leak location surveys
Abstract Historically, geomembrane construction quality assurance (CQA) has focused on destructive testing of welded seams to verify seam strength and integrity. Paradoxically, seams are not subject to significant stress and practically never fail in service, while holes and construction damage in the geomembrane are a much more widespread problem. The historical approach fails to evaluate how ...

Measuring Geomembrane Tensile Strength – 1” or Dumbbell?
Abstract: Specifying a tensile strength or % elongation for any given application is necessary to avoid any possible failure in the geomembrane. There are many factors to consider including: testing equipment, thickness, load cell, type of grips, and sample geometry. Although ASTM D7176 currently requires a 1” tensile strip, they will be considering a dumbbell-shaped sample as this ...
