The 6 Most Common Reasons for Failure of Geosynthetics by Prof. Kerry Rowe
Almost all failures are associated with human errors, including:
- Designers without the appropriate knowledge copying drawings and specifications for what they think is a similar situation — without recognizing the important differences between the two projects (e.g., a subgrade of sand and gravel)
- Design without adequate consideration of the project needs and the conditions to which the geosynthetics will be exposed
- Design without recognizing the difference between different geotextiles, geomembranes, GCLs, and geocomposite drains, and how those differences will affect the ability of the geosynthetics to meet the design requirements for a particular project
- Design without considering the interaction between the different geosynthetic components and/or between the components and adjacent materials under field conditions
- Poor construction and inadequate CQA
- Operation of the facility in a manner not anticipated in the design (for example, placing more material than was anticipated in the design without checking stability, or recirculating leachate in a landfill that was not designed for leachate recirculation)
