Mit Dichtungskontrollsystemen (DKS) werden Konvektionssperren in Oberflächenabdichtungssystemen von Deponien kontrolliert. Die Funktionsfähigkeit eines eingebauten DKS muss in jedem Projekt zuvor überprüft werden. Diese projektspezifische Funktionsprüfung des DKS selbst wird am Beispiel der Verwendung mit einer Kunststoffdichtungsbahn (KDB) diskutiert. Der grundsätzliche Aufbau, die zugrunde liegenden Messprinzipien und das Ziel der Prüfung werden vorgestellt. Die Anforderungen an die nach der Deponieverordnung (DepV) zugelassenen Systeme hinsichtlich Betrieb, Leitungsfähigkeit und Konstruktion werden beschrieben. Dabei wird auf die Vorgaben der Richtlinie, die einer Zulassung zugrunde liegt, eingegangen. Das mögliche Vorgehen bei der projektspezifischen Kontrollprüfung im Hinblick auf Aspekte wie Vorgehensweise, Zeitpunkt und Randbedingungen sowie äußere Einflussfaktoren werden diskutiert.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leak detection systems (LDS) are used to control tight barriers in landfill cover systems. However, the efficiency of the installed LDS itself has to be verified in every landfill construction project. As an example the efficiency test for LDS used in connection with geomembranes is discussed in detail. The basic principles, the measuring techniques and objectives of the efficiency testing are described. The requirements for a certification of LDS under the terms of the new German landfill ordinance with regard to operation, capability and design are listed. The conditions necessary for a certification of LDS are introduced. Possible project related efficiency testing procedures with respect to the scope, time of convenience, general conditions as well as external influencing factors are discussed.
Like all plastic products, geocomposite drains (GCD) are susceptible to creep and creep rupture. The GCD is slowly and continuously deformed under long lasting shear and pressure forces. The thickness is reduced and thereby the water flow capacity. If the in-plane deformation reaches a critical value in the course of time, shear failure might occur. Likewise, if the thickness reaches a critical value the structure of the drain core might collapse. These effects are shown using data provided by the manufacturers of four different GCD. Long-term water flow capacity and the acceptable limits of shear stress and normal stress (pressure) with respect to shear rupture and drain core stability as well as the lifetime with respect to these failure modes are determined using standard test methods. The design of long lasting geotechnical structures has to take into account these characteristics of the long-tem performance of GCD.
Plastic products used in geotechnical engineering, so-called geosynthetics, are often made of polyolefins (polyethylene or polypropylene) and stabilized against oxidative degradation by antioxidants (AO). Three types of AO “packages” are used: (P1) phenols and phosphites/sulfides, (P2) hindered amines (HAS) with a marginal stabilization P1 of the basic resin, (P3) a combination of packages P1 and P2 with comparable amounts of phenol and HAS. We report about long-lasting oven aging and water immersion tests at 80 °C of 29 different polyolefin based products (geomembranes, geonets and geotextiles). Pronounced differences in the degradation behavior were found depending solely on the type of AO package. In case of P1, the oxidative degradation is prevented by the AO. Autocatalytic oxidation only begins after depletion of AO and may lead to catastrophic failure depending on the environmental conditions. In case of P2, degradation starts right from the beginning. However, it is decelerated and proceeds gradually. In case of P3, the degradation behavior seems to be a superposition of the characteristics obtained for P1 and P2. Plotting the fractional loss of the AO in P1 and P2 as function of the square root of aging time, we identified two regimes of AO depletion. We suggest to attribute this observation to the different mechanisms of AO depletion.
An approach to achieve 'zero leakage' is discussed with respect to experience in Germany, where strict regulations for landfill lining and capping Systems have been developed and issued because of large environmental Problems related to landfills that accumulated in the 1970s and 1980s. Using a thick, high-quality high-density Polyethylene (HDPE) geomembrane (GM) that is installed free of residual waves and wrinkles in intimate contact with a compacted clay liner or geosynthetic clay liner of very low permeability, by a qualified, experienced, well-equipped and properly third-party-controlled installer, and which is protected by heavy protection layers designed with respect to the long-term performance of the GM may result in a liner or capping system of practically no leakage. This is demonstrated by analysing results of measurements obtained from permanently installed leak-detection Systems in combination with HDPE GMs. The survey was based on 32 German landfills with 1.276.500 m² of installed GMs.
Vor 30 Jahren wurde die erste BAM-Zulassung für ein Geokunststoffprodukt in der Deponietechnik ausgestellt. Seither wurden immer wieder eigene wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen durchgeführt, neue Forschungsergebnisse herangezogen und die Prüftechnik weiterentwickelt, um die Eignung und Funktionsdauer von Kunststoffdichtungsbahnen, Schutzschichten, Kunststoff-Dränelementen, geotextilen Filtern oder Bewehrungsgittern beurteilen zu können. Einige dieser Entwicklungen werden hier diskutiert.
