MEMBRANES IN LAYERED SOILS BENEATH PIPELINES ---PROCEEDINGS OF THE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON THEORY AND PRACTICE OF EARTH REINFORCEMENT, FUKUOKA, KYUSHU, JAPAN, 5-7 OCTOBER 1988

Pipelines laid in reclaimed areas consisting of fill materials of varying strength often undergo unacceptable differential settlements causing joint failure. Laboratory tests have been carried out to investigate a method of reducing settlements by placing a geosynthetic membrane below the pipe bedding material. It was shown that geotextiles particularly of the grid type when used as a separator between rounded aggregate pipe bedding and an underlying soft clay lead to reduced settlements and increased bearing capacities.(a) for the covering abstract of the symposium see IRRD 818063.
