Geomembranes generally show a low rate of friction resistance, which can be advantageous in certain applications. Their smooth surface reduces frictional forces, allowing for easy installation and minimizing potential damage during placement.
However, the low frictional resistance may pose challenges in situations where stability or anchorage is required. When stability or anchorage is required, it may be necessary to use additional measures like anchorage systems or reinforcements to enhance the frictional resistance.
