Cinquante ans de différentes applications des géomembranes dans les barrages Fifty years of different applications of geomembranes in dams [PDF]
Les géomembranes, généralement associées à d’autres géosynthétiques, constituent l’étanchéité principale de presque trois cents barrages à travers le monde. Illustré par des exemples d'utilisation dans les différents types de barrages, en construction et

Impact of temperature on the pullout of reinforcing geotextiles from unsaturated silt [PDF]
This study investigates the thermal soil-geosynthetic interaction mechanisms of reinforcing geotextiles confined in compacted silt that may be encountered when using mechanically-stabilized earth (MSE) walls as geothermal heat sinks.

Finite-element analysis of a piled embankment with reinforcement and subsoil [PDF]
In 2014, the authors of this paper considered predictions of reinforcement tension in a piled embankment from British standard BS 8006 published in 2010 and the 2012 amended version, and compared the results with finite-element model predictions.

Abstract Inverse grading, where coarse particles overlay finer materials, is common on talus slopes, yet its progressive formation under realistic conditions is rarely quantified. We integrate multi‐year field observations with controlled freeze‐thaw experiments to elucidate the processes driving particle migration that result in inverse grading and ...

Numerical analysis on Buried pipes protected by combination of geocell reinforcement and rubber-soil mixture [PDF]
A numerical simulation of laboratory model tests was carried out to develop an understanding of the behaviour of pipes in a trench prepared with 3-Dimensional reinforced (namely "geocell-reinforced" in the present study) sand and rubber-soil mixtures ...

Hydraulic conductivity of a dense prehydrated GCL: impact of free swell and swelling pressure [PDF]
Exposure to liquids with high electrolyte concentrations or high cation valence present in landfill leachates can cause significant increases in hydraulic conductivity of clays due to a reduction in the thickness of the double layer.

The constructed wetland hydrodynamic study indicated the formation of preferential flow paths between Years 3 and 5. Rainfall reduced the retention time and increased dispersive flow in the sewage treatment unit. ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the hydrodynamic behavior of a vertical subsurface flow constructed wetland (VSSF‐CW) treating domestic
