ANALYSIS OF AVAILABLE METHODS FOR TESTING PHYSICAL AND MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF GEOSYNTHETIC CLAY LINERS (OVERVIEW)

Annotation

Analysis of foreign literature made it possible to choose main instruments (devices) and methods for testing physical and mechanical characteristics of geosynthetic clay liners used to protect groundwater from pollution. The main physical and mechanical characteristics and fields of their application are presented. Main formulas to calculate breaking strength as well as leakage velocities as a result of defects are given.
