LEAKAGE THROUGH LINERS CONSTRUCTED WITH GEOMEMBRANES - PART 1. GEOMEMBRANE LINERS
To deal with questions of leakage and permeability of geomembranes a detailed review of leakage mechanisms, published and unpublished test data, and analytical studies has been carried out with the goal of providing practical design recommendations. In particular, it appears that a composite liner (ie geomembrane on low-permeability soil) is more effective in reducing the rate of leakage through the liner than either a geomembrane alone or a soil liner (low-permeability soil layer) alone. However, the paper shows that the effectiveness of composite liners depends on the quality of the contact between the geomembrane and the underlying low-permeability soil layer. (TRRL)
