To Batten Or Not, and If So – How?

摘要

Batten strip water stops cannot be totally avoided in geomembrane lining systems. When they must be usedrncomponents of batten systems used by an experienced installer and how they are installed are described togetherrnwith some thoughts on the influences of concrete roughness, gasket dimensions, gasket properties, and compressivernforces required. It is evident there is no technically-based standardized procedure for sealing with batten strips but itrnwould be beneficial to the industry to develop one.
