When defects occur in geomembrane liner (GL), leaking water could infiltrate dry soil below, replace the pore air and may generate geomembrane whale (GW). An analytical solution is proposed in this paper to analyse the geometry and tensile force of axisymmetric GW. Parametric studies are also conduc...
