Scope1.1 This guide covers guidelines for the proper storage andhandling of geosynthetic clay liners received at the job site bythe e

3、nd user.1.2 This guide contains general guidelines and is not in-tended to replace project-specific requirements as found in thecontract drawings or specifications. In the event of a conflict,the requirements of the project specifications will supersede therequirements of this practice.1.3 The value

Each end of the pipe is connected to a chainor lifting strap which attaches to equipment for GCLunloading, on-site handling, and installation.3.1.2 geosynthetic clay liner (GCL), na manufacturedhydraulic barrier consisting

9、 of clay bonded to a layer or layersof geosynthetics.3.1.3 spreader bar, na steel beam used in conjunction withthe core pipe that prevents the lifting chains or straps fromchafing against the ends of the GCL roll.3.1.4 stinger, na rigid pipe or rod with one end directlyconnected to a forklift or oth

10、er equipment. The opposite end ofthe stinger can then be inserted through the GCL roll core suchthat the equipment is able to unload, handle, or install the GCL.3.1.5 For definitions of other geosynthetic terms used in thispractice, refer to Terminology D4439.4. Significance and Use4.1 For optimum p

11、erformance, GCLs must be stored andhandled prior to their installation in a manner that does notimpact their physical properties. Adherence to these storageand handling guidelines will help to ensure that acceptableGCL performance will be achieved.5. Procedure5.1 Receiving and Handling GCL at the Jo

12、b Site:5.1.1 The GCLs are packaged in individual rolls and aretypically delivered to the job site in trucks. Each roll isindividually wrapped and labeled by the GCL manufacturer.Prior to unloading the rolls, make a visual examination of theshipment in order to identify any damage that may haveoccurr

21、g the GCL at the Job Site:5.2.1 Store GCL rolls in their original, unopened packagingin a location away from construction traffic but sufficientlyclose to the active work area to minimize handling. Thedesignated storage area should be level, dry, well-drained,stable, and should protect the GCL from:

22、5.2.1.1 Precipitation,5.2.1.2 Standing water,5.2.1.3 Ultraviolet radiation,5.2.1.4 Chemicals,5.2.1.5 Open flames and welding sparks,5.2.1.6 Temperatures in excess of 71C (160F),5.2.1.7 Vandalism, animals, and5.2.1.8 Any other environmental condition that could im-pact the physical properties of the

23、GCL.5.2.2 To facilitate the installation process, store the GCLsuch that it is protected from freezing.5.2.3 Always store GCL rolls lying flat, sufficiently sup-ported as to not cause localized contact points. Rolls may beplaced on the ground if ponding of water in the storage area isprevented. It i

24、s recommended that the rolls be placed on blocksor pallets of sufficient quantity so as to have at least 50% of therolls evenly supported (see Fig. 1). The rolls may be stackedupon one another, provided they are placed in a manner thatprevents them from sliding or rolling from the stack. Therecommen

25、ded stack height is three rolls. The height of thestack should be limited to that at which safe access is providedto equipment and laborers, and at which roll cores at thebottom of the stack are not distorted or crushed.5.2.4 If the integrity of the GCL packaging has not beenaffected during the ship

26、ping and unloading processes, and ifthe storage requirements listed herein are achieved, then therolls may be stored on site with a waterproof tarpaulin orplastic sheet placed over the GCL stockpile. Enclosed indoorstorage is preferred if the GCLrolls are to be stored for the longterm.6. Keywords6.1
