A Field Scale Evaluation of Wrinkles in Exposed HDPE Geomembranes

Intact geomembranes are barriers to advective aqueous flow and are often a key component in the design of composite bottom liner and cover systems. During installation, the combination of solar heating, a high coefficient of expansion, and the stiffness of high density polyethylene (HDPE) causes th...
