MECHANICAL PROPERTY OF BENDING AREA OF WATERPROOF SHEET MADE OF LLDPE

Abstract

This report is the investigation of the mechanical property of bending area of waterproof sheet applied in a coastal confined waste disposal site. Waterproof sheet, used in this investigation, was made of linear-low-densitypolyethylene (LLDPE). One dimensional tensile test and hydraulic bursting test were conducted at varied patterns as the number of bending, bending load and bending time. The result of the investigation, bending did not affect the mechanical properties of LLDPE sheet at the range of this test conditions.
