Laboratory tests were conducted to measure polyethylene geomembrane contact surface area change with time under sustained loading. The presentation summarizes the test results and findings. A theoretical model for time-dependent contact area is also assessed using the results obtained from the tests conducted. The results show that the contact areas at the geomembrane surface increase with time as anticipated and the rate of increase in contact area decreases with time. The investigations also showed that the time-dependent soil-geomembrane contact area can be predicted using a theoretical model.
