CALCULATING AND LIMITING LOCAL STRAINS IN GEOMEMBRANES FROM GRAVEL INDENTATIONS

Eastman, MICHAEL 02 October 2013 (has links)
Short-term tensile strains that arise from local gravel indentations in municipal solid waste landfill base geomembrane liners are investigated with an emphasis on quantifying how strains are obtained and providing methods for limiting long-term local geomembrane strains below allowable levels. This involved the development of new experimental techniques and apparatuses to study geomembrane strains under controlled conditions. An experimental technique to measure the radial and vertical components of displacement from local gravel indentations in a geomembrane is presented. Geomembrane strains were calculated using large strain-displacement theory, thin shell theory, and the arc elongation method. While radial displacements were found to be small relative to vertical displacements, they were shown to provide the dominant contribution to the maximum strain beneath the centre of the gravel indentation. Both the thin shell and arc elongation methods produced incorrect distributions of strain and also provided magnitudes that significantly underestimated the maximum geomembrane strain. Small-scale screening tests were conducted to gain insight into how key factors including the compressibility of the underlying clay layer, particle size of the overlying gravel, and mass of the geotextile protection layer influence local geomembrane strains. Results are provided that can be used to rule out protection layers that are unable to meet a long-term strain limit, and conversely, identify those that may be able to limit strains below a target strain for further larger scale evaluation. Compaction water contents towards the lower range of water content to achieve an acceptably low hydraulic conductivity of field compacted clay liners were found to be more successful in limiting local strains in the geomembrane. Protection from geotextiles with masses up to 2440 g/m2 were unable to limit geomembrane strains below 1.5% with nominal 50 mm gravel at a temperature of 55°C. Tests with nominal 25 mm gravel revealed that a geotextile with a mass of 1500 g/m2 successfully limited the maximum geomembrane strain below 1.5% at an applied stress of 250 kPa while another geotextile (2440 g/m2) met the strain limit up to applied stresses of 500 kPa at a temperature of 55°C. / Thesis (Master, Civil Engineering) -- Queen's University, 2013-09-30 01:44:54.904

Landfill Mining som en hjälp vid materialåtervinning från deponier : Informationsunderlag för prospektering

Pihl, Therése, Ragnarsson Fagrell, Mia Unknown Date (has links)
<p> </p><p> </p><p>Att gräva upp och återvinna värdefulla material från gamla deponier har en enorm miljöpotential i form av utvinning av resurser. I dagsläget innebär emellertid sådana återvinningsprojekt stora osäkerheter och därmed ekonomiska risker för företag. Anledningen är att det finns många deponier att välja mellan och dessa skiljer sig ofta åt med avseende på ålder, storlek, typ av avfall och lokalisering vilka alla är faktorer som direkt kan påverka om ett projekt blir lönsamt eller inte. För att minska de ekonomiska riskerna behöver företag i återvinningsbranschen på förhand kunna identifiera skillnader mellan olika deponier. I denna uppsats genomförs en systematisk litteraturöversikt över inventeringar av deponier. Uppsatsen syftar till att inventera tillgänglig information om deponier på nationell, regional och lokal nivå. Undersökningar har skett kring vilka uppgifter inventeringarna innehåller som finns hos Jönköpings och Linköpings kommun, Länsstyrelserna i Östergötlands och Jönköpings län samt hos Naturvårdsverket. Uppsatsen belyser även begreppet Landfill Mining och dess användning.</p><p>Slutsatserna i denna uppsats är att information från inventeringarna kan användas för Landfill Mining-projekt, dock kan det behövas gå ned på objekt- eller personnivå för att få tillgång till mer detaljerad data. Uppsatsens kategorier, ålder, riskklassning och avfallstyp innehåller viktig information om deponierna som är avgörande för att besluta om ett LFM- projekt ska genomföras och utgöra en vinst.</p>
