Size and morphological characteristics of particles play vital role on the shear and interfacial
shear strength of sands. Often, effects of these parameters are merged and cannot be easily …

The influence of overall particle shape, mean particle size, initial relative density and
effective normal stress on the global and local soil–geosynthetic interaction is investigated …

This paper investigates the effect of particle size of sand and the surface asperities of
reinforcing material on their interlocking mechanism and its influence on the interfacial shear …

Interface shear strength of geosynthetic clay liners (GCL) with the sand particles is
predominantly influenced by the surface characteristics of the GCL, size and shape of the …

The interaction between soil and geotextile is essential for the performance of reinforced
soil. This study reveals the microscopic mechanism of interface shear between sand and …

Quantitative measurement of induced surface changes in the geomembranes by sliding and
plowing of sand particles during shear is highly beneficial for understanding the macro …

The examination of the meso-mechanical properties of soils is fundamental to understand its
macro-behaviour. This paper aims to evaluate the potential application of Digital Image …

This paper presents a versatile interface direct shear test apparatus developed for
systematically investigating the shear behaviour of geotechnical interfaces. The apparatus …

The paper presents new insights into the particle kinematics and tribological aspects and
their effects on the non-dilative interface shear response from novel experimental …

Flexible conductive materials are widely used in structural health monitoring; it is also known
in geotechnical engineering. In this preliminary study, a strain-self-sensing smart geogrid rib …
