... measurements of geosynthetic tension during cover soil placement are available. In addition, a design example is presented to demonstrate how the proposed approach can be used in practice. 05 02 2001 20 03 2003 01 04 2003 © 2003 Thomas Telford Ltd 2003 Geosynthetics Landfill Liner...

...A.K. Ashmawy; P.L. Bourdeau Simple tension tests were performed to investigate the load-elongation behavior of two geotextiles, a woven polyester and a nonwoven polypropylene, under monotonic and cyclic loading conditions. Creep tests under constant load were also performed in order to examine...

... cover tensile tension due to the landfill cover settlement. The results of this study indicate the integrity of the high density polyethylene geomembrane regardless of the observed localized settlement in the landfill cover due to the solid waste decomposition and consolidation. 28 3 1994 20 5...
