Geomembrane Training Course Scheduled for Brisbane 7th August (Course to cover testing, installation, welding and failure analysis)
Interested in attending please email: [email protected]
Ian Peggs of I-CORP INTERNATIONAL has identified new stress crack failures, some of which seem quite original, some of which echo the patterns of failures from 30 years ago. Also, Australia-based Excelplas has learned of some stress cracking along the edge of wedge weld tracks. Both Dr. Peggs and Excelplas would be interested to hear of any stress crack cases Arab Construction World (ACW) readers may have information on.

Tensile Forces of Liner System – Tensile force in the geomembrane is caused by compaction work of disposed waste, and the tensile force is transferred into the liner system by friction, but the tensile force of liner system will change with a change of slope angle, so it is very important to determine the amount of tensile forces creating at the fixed ends of liner system for avoiding the tearing failure of liner system and designing the anchorage.
