Liquefiable Soils
Liquefiable soils are loose, water-saturated sands or silty sands that can temporarily behave like a liquid during strong earthquakes. Under shaking, water trapped between soil particles builds up pressure, causing the particles to lose contact with each other. When this happens, the soil can no longer support structures above it. Buildings may tilt, roads may crack, and underground utilities may float or break.
Concrete Canvas and Hydro GCCM installed for Ditch Lining Project
Concrete Canvas® (CC), is a flexible, concrete impregnated fabric that hardens when hydrated to form a thin, durable, waterproof and fire-resistant concrete layer. Concrete Canvas® allows concrete lining construction without the need for plant or mixing equipment.Recently, CC Hydro™ was introduced to the market to address the need for a geomembrane-lined GCCM to create flexible yet hard and impermeable lining materials for projects wherein the need to contain hydrocarbons and other toxic substances is of paramount importance.
