Journal Research Articles
This research project entitled “Durability and Performance of Bituminous Geomembranes,” is progressing with the U of S. This two-year CRD project will incorporate a detailed program of evaluation of the performance, and durability of several bituminous geomembranes (BGM) products under conditions of high vertical load, with significant point loading resulting from aggressive natural and recycled aggregates, including tire-derived aggregate (TDA) which is widely used in Western Canada. Various BGMs were evaluated for this project to be used with aggressive recycled TDA aggregate. In the current year, the research team investigated the performance of Bituminous Geomembranes (BGMs) over a wide range of temperatures to determine the short-term viability, and very interesting data was obtained. 2021 Publications
