Opis

Geomembranes are increasingly being used in transportation, environmental and geotechnical applications to control gas and liquid movement. The book aims to provide guidance on identification and testing of geomembranes. The report has been prepared by an international committee under the auspices of RILEM, the International Union of Research and Testing Laboratories for Materials and Structures.

Recenzje

"The book gives an excellent start for the development of common testing rules across Europe for geomembrane" - GeoJournal
