Der Fachbeirat beschloss im vergangenen Jahr Zulassungsrichtlinien für Kunststoffdichtungsbahnen, Schutzschichten, Kunststoff-Dränelemente und Geotextilien zum Filtern und Trennen und eine Richtlinie über Anforderungen an Verlegefachbetriebe, die von seinen Arbeitsgruppen vorbereitet worden waren, und nunmehr die Grundlage für die Zulassungstätigkeit bilden. In diesem Beitrag wird im Anschluss an die Ausführungen auf der letzten Fachtagung kurz über wesentliche Anforderungen und Zulassungsvoraussetzungen berichtet. Noch nicht verabschiedet sind die Richtlinien für Dichtungskontrollsysteme und Bewehrungsgitter aus Kunststoff. Auf den Diskussionsstand bei den Anforderungen an die Bewehrungsgitter wird etwas ausführlicher eingegangen, da sich neben den materialtechnischen auch bemessungstechnische Probleme ergeben.
Derzeit gibt es intensive Diskussionen über die Entlassung von Deponien aus der Nachsorgephase. Die Deponie müsste dafür nach der Deponieverordnung (DepV) u. a. „insgesamt dauerhaft standsicher" sein. Geokunststoffe erfüllten ihre Funktion über einen Zeitrahmen von lediglich mindestens hundert Jahren. Dies stehe somit im Widerspruch wird argumentiert. Das neue LANUV-Arbeitsblatt 33 schließt daher im Moment eine Entlassung aus der Nachsorge von Deponien faktisch aus, wenn in den Böschungen Geokunststoffprodukte eingesetzt wurden. Auch der Fachbeirat der BAM zur Zulassung von Geokunststoffen, Polymeren und Dichtungskontrollsystemen hat sich daher mit der Thematik beschäftigt. Die aktuelle Situation soll daher auf dieser Grundlage diskutiert werden.
An approach to achieve “zero leakage” is discussed with respect to the 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 1970’s and 1980’s. Using a thick, high quality HDPE geomembrane (GMB), which is installed free of residual waves and wrinkles in intimate contact with a compacted clay liner (CCL) or geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) of very low permeability, by a qualified, experienced, well equipped and properly third-party controlled installer and which are protected by heavy protection layers designed with respect to long-term performance of the GMB, may result in a liner or capping system of practically no leakage. This is demonstrated by analyzing results of measurements obtained from permanently installed leak detection systems in combination with HDPE GMBs. The survey is based on 32 German landfills with 1,276,500 m² of installed HDPE GMB.

Designing the performance of geogrids in reinforce soil constructions usually does not consider long-term behavior and possible failure modes of junctions between longitudinal and transverse ribs. How could behavior of junctions be included? To which extend is it necessary? On the conference Geo-Chicago 2016, Swan and Yuan presented an ultimate limit state equation for the short-term material resistance of junctions. We discuss limitations and suggest improvements to include long-term behavior of junctions. Nevertheless, the approach applies only to a specific mode of shear-tensile failure of junctions and only to strictly rigid geogrids. A new design concept presented in the same year by Jacobs on the conference GeoAmerica for the special case of the anchorage of geogrids, which reinforce capping system on long and steep slopes of landfills, tried to overcome these drawbacks. We discuss the aspects of this concept related to the long-term behavior of junctions and the interplay between the load applied to junctions and the flexibility of longitudinal ribs. This interplay and the long-term junction strength determine the long-term behavior of geogrids.
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.

The German Landfill Ordinance regulates the use of geosynthetics and other materials in the field of waste Containment Systems. It requires a certification of the geosynthetics by the BAM. The certification-guidelines define the state of the art by giving detailed requirements and specifications i the various geosynthetic products used in landfill constructions. According to the German Landfill Ordinance geosynthetic products have to fulfil their function for more than 100 years. Beyond, supported by an advisory board of landfill experts, BAM has developed installation requirements and demands on quality management for production, installation and third party control. The BAM is responsible to define tests and testing criteria for geosynthetics, to include provisions into the certification document and in addition to stipulate requirements with regard to installation procedure and quality management in Germany. All documents of the BAM such as certification guidelines, recommendations and testing specifications which are approved by the advisory board are published in German language on the website and in the Official Gazette*** of the BAM. For the certification one of the basic requirements is that the geosynthetic product is produced with well defined and well reproducible properties. Thus, a sophisticated quality management System is needed. In addition, not only production control, but also a quality assurance for the installation is necessary.
