Long-term allowable tensile stresses for polyethylene geomembranes
Abstract The objective of this paper is to present a rational methodology for establishing long-term allowable tensile stresses for polyethylene geomembranes used in waste-containment applications. Procedures currently used in the USA do not account for all of the factors that may significantly affect this parameter. The proposed procedure is intended to address this limitation by providing a framework to account for time, temperature, exposure environment, seam response, and boundary-stress and deformation conditions. The proposed procedure is conceptually similar to procedures used to establish the long-term allowable tension for geosynthetic reinforcement. An example of the use of the procedure is provided.
