Guideline DWA-M 512-1E, February 2012. Sealing Systems in Hydraulic Engineering. Part 1: Earthwork Structures
This publication was jointly elaborated by German Port Technology Association (HTG), the German Geotechnical Society (DGGT) and the German Association for Water, Wastewater and Waste (DWA). This Guideline deals exclusively with sealing systems designed for application in hydraulic engineering. Described are surface and internal sealing systems used in earthwork structures, including asphalt and concrete sealing systems, geosynthetic clay liners, mineral sealings, geomembranes, fully grouted riprap, sheet pile walls and internal sealing systems made of hydraulically bound sealing-wall materials. For each of these sealing systems, a summary is given of possible applications, construction materials, methods of placement, design principles, quality assurance and maintenance requirements.
