Analysis of Main Causes of Structural Failures in Impermeable Geomembrane Liners of Hydraulic Structures

  • Published:
Power Technology and Engineering Aims and scope

The article considers problems associated with the application of geomembranes in hydrotechnical construction on the real-world example of technical and technological failures associated with the installation of impermeable structural elements. The most commonly occurring defects when using geomembranes as part of impermeable structural elements are analyzed.
