FGI's 100th Webinar: Geomembrane Liner Design and Performance Analysis
Dr. Giroud will describe new developments in geomembrane design and performance. In particular, he will focus on new developments in the following four areas: (1) stability of geomembrane liner systems on slope, (2) properties of geomembrane liners, (3) leakage control by geomembrane liners, and (4) connection of geomembrane liners to rigid structures.
