In more recent applications, several types of ET cover designs also have incorporated synthetic materials, such as geomembranes, which are used to enhance the function of minimizing water into the waste. For example, the Operating Industries Inc. Landfill in California has incorporated a soil layer with a geosynthetic clay liner in the design. The cover system for this site will reduce surface gas emissions, prevent oxygen intrusion and percolation, and provide for erosion control.68...

ASTM D 5885 Standard Test Method for Oxidative Induction Time of Polyolefin Geosynthetics by High-Pressure Differential Scanning Calorimetry Principally, this is the same test as the above and is performed using a DSC, except now with a high-pressure cell that can sustain a pressure of 5500 kPa. The test is designed for highly stabilized materials. It is applicable only to materials whose... 

Polyolefins are now being used increasingly in underground electricity transmission. Although not normally called geosynthetics in this application, the same durability characteristics are essential here. One of...

From the wide range of geosynthetic products, the ones used in asphalt rehabilitation works are the geotextiles, geogrids and geocomposites, all able to sustain the high temperature of the asphalt during application.

Oxidative induction time (OIT) provides an index useful in comparing the relative resistance to oxidation of a variety of hydrocarbon materials. The OIT procedure was first developed in 1975 by Gilroy and coworkers at Bell Laboratory as a test procedure to screen polyethylene insulation used in telephone wire and cable for its oxidation resistance. The method first became available as a Western Electric Specification and later as ASTM Test Method for Copper-Induced Oxidative Induction Time of Polyolefins. Polyolefin manufacturers quickly embraced the procedure and began to apply it to other applications including raw resins, finished pipes, wire and cable insulation, and, most recently, geosynthetic waste pit liners (ASTM D3895 2009). 

Key words geosynthetics, geotextiles, geocomposites, structures, properties, functions, multifunctionality, applications. 

Most non-textile geosynthetics are used with geotextiles, and therefore it is more informative to consider the functions, structures and properties of all the material types. This should aid the reader s understanding of the role played by geotextiles, whether employed with the other materials or as their substitutes in the various geotechnical applications described later as examples.
