[0002] With the rapid development of composite geomembrane and construction technology, the number of water conservancy projects and underground landfill projects using composite geomembrane for seepage prevention is gradually increasing. Geomembrane or geomembrane and other geosynthetic materials are used as seepage prevention layer to control the seepage of dam body or foundation. However, defects may exist in the production, transportation and construction of geomembrane, especially in the construction process. The existence of defects will greatly reduce the seepage prevention performance of geomembrane, making it difficult to meet the needs of engineering seepage prevention. How to estimate the seepage quantity of damaged geomembrane and calculate its equivalent permeability coefficient has positive significance for quantitative evaluation of geomembrane seepage prevention performance. The existing geomembrane defect seepage estimation only stays at the qualitative analysis level, and lacks quantitative calculation of equivalent permeability coefficient of damaged geomembrane. Therefore, a new technical solution is urgently needed to complete the quantitative calculation of damaged geomembrane defect seepage and realize the rapid and accurate calculation of equivalent permeability coefficient of damaged geomembrane.
