Effect of tensile load and temperature on bituminous geomembrane seams
Original research · free full-paper access · authors credited
Research overview
Examines BGM seam tensile-shear strength and constant-load creep at different temperatures. Measures seam separation rates and failure times, showing why short-term seam strength alone does not establish sustained-load performance. Results apply to the tested membrane, seams, loads and temperatures.
