Abstract
The protection of liners in landfill sites is of the utmost importance in the calculation of the usable design life of a landfill system. This research presents the establishment of an improved method for analysing the strain induced on a geomembrane using laser scanning technology to better determine the design life of the geomembrane. The ability to reproduce results with a high degree of accuracy under a range of test conditions was investigated. The results of this research showed that the use of high-definition laser scanning techniques produces repeatable and highly accurate results allowing precise indication of potential stress crack failure while providing a realistic comparison of cushion geotextile performance.
