Abstract

Degradation Geomembranes Temperature effects Predictions
There are many applications where geomembranes are purposely left exposed to sunlight and the high temperatures associated with such exposure. Many of these applications are hydraulic-related; such as masonry and concrete dam waterproofing, canal liners, reservoir liners and covers, and agriculture waste liners and covers. Lifetime prediction of these geomembranes is an obvious quest, and it is the goal of this project. Equipment is currently in place and geomembrane samples are incubating. While it is too early for quantitative results, the experimental design and goals of the study will be presented.
