Q&A:  GCL woven side against geomembrane?
I seem to recall a webinar or presentation in which the presenter warned against using the woven side of a GCL against a geomembrane due to bentonite squeeze-out and subsequent slippage. Instead, the nonwoven side was recommended against the geomembrane with woven against the soil subgrade. However, I cannot find record of this presentation and I thought it could have been you. Have you observed this issue with the woven side against geomembrane?
