Performance of a geocomposite liner for containing Jet A-1 spill in an extreme environment

Durability of fluorinated high density polyethylene geomembrane in the Arctic

“…Rowe et al, 2007;Take et al, 2007;Brachman and Gudina, 2008a,b). The HDPE GM should not only have chemical resistance and low permeability to the contaminants but also remain chemically and mechanically stable (durable) over the design life.…”

Geomembrane applications for controlling diffusive migration of petroleum hydrocarbons in cold region environments

“…Some studies have looked at physical and chemical changes in the polymer structure with exposure to cold temperatures (Bathurst et al, 2006;Rimal et al, 2007;Rowe et al, 2007Rowe et al, , 2010, and freeze-thaw cycles (Hsuan et al, 1994(Hsuan et al, , 1997(Hsuan et al, , 2013Comer et al, 1995). Changes in the diffusive parameters resulting from freeze-thaw cycling have not been studied.…”

Geomembrane strains from coarse gravel and wrinkles in a GM/GCL composite liner

“…1, can be an effective barrier to contaminant transport in a solid waste landfill (e.g., Rowe et al, 2004Rowe et al, , 2007Rowe, 2005;Barroso et al, 2006;Dickinson and Brachman, 2006;Touze-Foltz et al, 2006;Bouazza and Vangpaisal, 2006;Bouazza et al, 2008;Saidi et al, 2008). To act as an effective barrier, physical damage to the geomembrane and GCL must be limited to allowable levels.…”
