Analysis of Stresses and Strains in Geomembrane Gas Bubbles That Occur in Surface Impoundments
Publication: Geosynthetics, Forging a Path to Bona Fide Engineering Materials
Abstract
Surface impoundments (aka, ponds) lined with geomembranes are susceptible to geomembrane uplift caused by trapped gases below the liner. This paper provides a method to analyze the shape, internal pressure, stresses, and strains in a geomembrane bubble (also called “whales” or “hippos”) whose pressure is caused by the gases and surrounding impounded fluid.
