GCL SHRINKAGE - A POSSIBLE SOLUTION (2009)

A potential industry-wide concern for GCL shrinkage was identified by Thiel and Richardson (2005) at the January 2005 Geo-Frontiers conference in Austin, Texas, based on observed problems at several sites worldwide. All of the known problems were for installations where an exposed geomembrane/GCL composite installation was left unballasted (that is, with no overlying cover soil) for an extended time.
