9、 Koerners interest in geosynthetic spans almost thirty-five years of teaching, research, writing and consulting. He holds his Ph.D. in Geotechnical Engineering from Duke University. He is a registered Professor Engineer, a Distinguished Member of ASCE, a Geotechnical Engineering Diplomat, an Honorar

10、y Member of the International Geosynthetics Society and a member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering. Bob has authored and co-authored approximately 650 papers on geosynthetics and geotechnical topics in journals and offered presentations at national and international conferences. His most w

11、idely used publication is his book entitled “Designing with Geosynthetics” now in its sixth edition. Robert (Bob) Koerner has been instrumental in the development and growth of the field of Geosynthetics. His pioneering work has not only created an understanding of the design and manufacture of hund

12、reds of geosynthetic products worldwide, but has helped generations of educators, researchers, designers, manufacturers, and regulators address countless geo- environmental and civil engineering challenges using geosynthetics. His research and development efforts have resulted in two notable organiz

13、ations: the Geosynthetic Research Institute (GRI) and the Geosynthetic Institute (GSI), which have brought owners, consultants, laboratories, manufacturers, and installers together to develop and transfer knowledge related to geosynthetics. Bob is a member of the National Academy of Engineering (NAE

14、) and a recipient of a “Hero” award from the ASCE Geo-Institute. This mini-symposium honors Robert Koerners contribution to geosynthetics engineering through a series of papers from his former students, colleagues, practitioners, manufacturers, and researchers worldwide. A series of papers included

15、in the proceedings features a wide selection of currently relevant topics such as, the long term performance of geosynthetic products, innovative applications, new modeling techniques, centrifuge testing of geosynthetic systems, and green geosynthetics. These papers address issues that range from ba

16、sic research to application, highlighting research findings that span the globe. They engage both the researchers perspective and the practitioners point of view and they involve both the users and producers ideas. All papers included in this volume were peer reviewed by at least two anonymous, qual

17、ified, technical reviewers (and in some cases three or four reviewers) and selected for publication by the volume editors. An advanced document management service was utilized in order to assure anonymity and to maintain uniformity of standards. The standards of practice of the Geo-Institute of the

18、American Society of Civil Engineers were followed. As such, the papers contained in this volume are eligible for discussion in the ASCE Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering and for ASCE awards. The Editors Y.

40、ering, CTI and Associates, Inc., email: ABSTRACT: An increasing demand for Construction Quality Assurance (CQA) for large landfill liner and final cover projects is being driven by three key recent trends: (1) the consolidation and closure of large Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) landfills; (2) the exp

41、ansion and/or closure of large Coal Combustion Residual (CCR) landfills, and (3) the closure of large CCR surface impoundments. The unprecedented size of these emerging construction projects is cause to examine existing CQA practices and evaluate their projected efficacy for upcoming construction. D

42、estructive seam testing for geomembranes deployed in the field is an area of particular interest because this kind of CQA testing has a direct impact on the quality, schedule, and cost of installations. This paper examines available probability-based quality assurance methods and considers their imp

43、act on risk of poor performance for large liner and final cover systems. Data from completed projects are used to illustrate the implementation of these methods and to simulate how a CQA program can manage risk. INTRODUCTION Renewed interest in the conduct of Construction Quality Assurance (CQA) for

44、 geomembrane installations is needed in order to resolve important risk management issues. Fortunately, large landfill liner and final cover projects in the Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and Coal Combustion Residual (CCR) landfill sectors are facilitating the re-examination of CQA methods. Very large

45、projects emphasize the implications of decisions regarding quality of work and acceptance of installation due to the magnitude of the consequences for poor performance. Accordingly, CQA decisions entail significant short-term cost and long-term liability trade-offs. Therefore, there is a need to tie

46、 testing practices and the resulting quality assurance decisions to actual measures of risk, which is not possible the way testing data are currently used. Geosynthetics, Forging a Path to Bona Fide Engineering Materials GSP 275 1 ASCE In terms of traditional quality assurance engineering, the funda

47、mental decision facing CQA Engineers is whether to accept or reject a geomembrane as installed. This decision has considerable financial, regulatory, and professional implications. This decision is complicated by the incremental nature of landfill construction work and the numerous variables affecti

48、ng the quality of field seams. From quality assurance theory, there is an established notion of the concept of a lot a fundamental unit of production to which this decision is applied. The quality assurance sampling schemes that are applied to the testing of these lots are designed to control the pr

49、obability of accepting a lot with an unacceptable proportion of defective units. Ideally, a lot should have a controlled set of conditions such that all of its members can be considered together. In the practice of geomembrane seaming, this concept of a lot is difficult to implement since there are few clear demarcations in the project that offer boundaries to a lot. Also complicating the issue is that the acceptance or rejection of the seams must be made relatively quickly in order to facilitat
