Book excerpt: The long-term performance of geocomposite sheet drains were monitored at three sites by measuring the effect of the drains on site groundwater hydrology during peak groundwater events. The study is on-going with a maximum record of 14 years at one site in the southern Sierra Nevada Range, CA.?Over a 3-year period, the drain at one site produced as much as 100 liters per minute with no rise in the water table just down gradient from the drain. The peak hydraulic gradient toward this drain consistently reaches 0.66 to 0.73 during major rainstorms and returns to a S2base levelS3 of 0.45 to 0.50 within 10 days after a storm peak.?At a second site, the drain flowed up to 15 liters per minute with no water table rise in a retaining wall fill down gradient from the drain. Performance of this drain was consistently favorable over a 14-year period with no deterioration. Limited data suggest that the drain discharge (liters per minute) is proportional to about 13 times the hydraulic gradient toward the drain.?At a third site, drain performance is limited by construction problems. A collapsed trench wall during drain placement caused an uneven drain slope toward the outlet. This is a common problem of trench drains at sites with a high water table. The problem could be greatly mitigated by returning to one of the pioneering geocomposite drain designs, the Eljen Drain, in which vertical sections of the drain are completely independent units that can be immediately dropped into a trench behind the excavator. Despite the construction problems, the drain is partially dewatering the road prism just down gradient, as seen by approximately 1.2 meters of groundwater drawdown beneath the road.

Book Synopsis Field Performance of Geosynthetic Highway Drainage Systems by : GR. Koerner
Download or read book Field Performance of Geosynthetic Highway Drainage Systems written by GR. Koerner and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents field results from a three year study focused on the performance of geosynthetic materials in transportation related drainage applications. The application areas of interest were mainly highway edge drains, although selected retaining wall drains and erosion control systems were also involved. Included in the study are geotextile filters, geocomposite edge drains, geocomposite sheet drains and, to a limited extent, plastic pipe. In many instances, the geotextile was observed to be the key element in the overall success or failure of the system. Thus the geotextile, serving in a primary function as a filter was the major focal point of the investigation.

Book Synopsis Assessment of the Performance of Engineered Waste Containment Barriers by : National Research Council
Download or read book Assessment of the Performance of Engineered Waste Containment Barriers written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-08-22 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: President Carter's 1980 declaration of a state of emergency at Love Canal, New York, recognized that residents' health had been affected by nearby chemical waste sites. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, enacted in 1976, ushered in a new era of waste management disposal designed to protect the public from harm. It required that modern waste containment systems use "engineered" barriers designed to isolate hazardous and toxic wastes and prevent them from seeping into the environment. These containment systems are now employed at thousands of waste sites around the United States, and their effectiveness must be continually monitored. Assessment of the Performance of Engineered Waste Containment Barriers assesses the performance of waste containment barriers to date. Existing data suggest that waste containment systems with liners and covers, when constructed and maintained in accordance with current regulations, are performing well thus far. However, they have not been in existence long enough to assess long-term (postclosure) performance, which may extend for hundreds of years. The book makes recommendations on how to improve future assessments and increase confidence in predictions of barrier system performance which will be of interest to policy makers, environmental interest groups, industrial waste producers, and industrial waste management industry.

Download or read book Advances in Geosynthetics Engineering written by Mohamed Meguid and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-10-28 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains contributions on advances in geosynthetics engineering. Soil reinforcement is a very useful technique to construct several cost-effective soil structures in an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner. The most commonly used reinforcement materials are galvanised steel strips, geosynthetics in the form of woven geotextiles, geogrids and geocomposites, and fibres from natural and waste products. In recent years, there have been advances in the area of soil reinforcement, especially in the utilization of the technique in field projects. The researchers have also been working to understand the behaviour of reinforced soil considering the field challenges of reinforced soil structures. The volume is based on the best contributions to the 2nd GeoMEast International Congress and Exhibition on Sustainable Civil Infrastructures, Egypt 2018 – The official international congress of the Soil-Structure Interaction Group in Egypt (SSIGE).
