| Abstract | Various types of canal lining are reviewed with regards to their
.structural design consideration, failure causes and prevention, loading conditions, and construction and repairing techniques. The most critical factor in design load is the water level in the subgrade causing a
hydrostatic pressure, and a swelling pressure if the subgrade is clay. These pressures can be reduced by means of a proper design of a drainage system consisting of weep holes with filters and, for a clayey subgrade, previous layer between the lining and the subgrade. The characteristics of a ferrocement canal lining were studied experimentally concerning its construction procedures and load carrying
behaviors. The stress resultants due to concentrated patch loads were compared with an existing theoretical prediction. The cost of a ferrocement canal lining compared to that of other
types of lining is rather high but the load carrying capacity is far
more superior. |
