EFFECT OF WIND UPLIFT ON LINER SYSTEMS

Geotextiles used to retard reflective cracking in highway rehabilitation and geotextiles used on slopes for erosion control systems have been problematic in high wind locations. This article, which describes techniques that are applicable to such situations, develops a design methodology that can be used in determining the magnitude and distribution of tractive (uplift) forces on geomembrane systems. The paper focuses on 2 reservoir systems.
