Geosynthetic Testing for Waste Containment Applications
Editor(s): R Koerner
26 papers help the reader with the selection, testing, design, and use of geosynthetics. The peer-reviewed volume:
• Focuses on the many available geosynthetic material tests that are performed in isolation (index tests)
• Contrasts these tests with soil/geosynthetic material tests (performance tests)
• Determines if, and what type of, full scale field tests are available
• Identifies needs for modification of these tests, or for additional tests that better predict field performance than those that are currently available.
Chapters include:
• Chemical Resistance of Geomembranes
• Test Methods and Procedures to Evaluate Geomembranes
• Chemical Resistance of Geotextiles and Other Geosynthetics
• Test Methods and Procedures to Evaluate Geotextiles and Other Geosynthetics
• and Performance Behavior of Several Geosynthetic Systems.
For waste facility owners (both private and public); permitting agencies; consulting engineers and testing firms in waste industry. Also geotechnical engineers; environmental engineers; hydraulics engineers.
