Geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) are often used as anti-seepage systems in landfills and at
the bottom of tailing ponds. The anti-seepage performance of GCL will change under …

In this paper, a bespoke stress and temperature controlled direct shear apparatus to test soil-
geosynthetics interfaces is introduced. By adopting the apparatus, a series of 'rapid …

Peak shear strength of soil-Geocomposite Drain Layer (GDL) interfaces is an important
parameter in the designing and operating related engineering structures. In this paper, a …

Abstract Geomembranes (GMBs) and geotextiles (GTXs) are the most widely used
geosynthetics in landfills and other barrier systems. While various temperature environments …

Applying textured geomembrane improves the frictional performance of geotextile and
geomembrane interfaces. However, very limited research has been conducted to analyze …

In ocean engineering, polymer layer is often adopted as waterproof materials, and the
mechanical behaviour of marine sand-polymer layer interfaces has significant influence on …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of temperature on the shear behavior
and critical strength of composite systems comprising of a geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) and …

In this paper, to investigate the impact of environmental loadings on the short-term and
creep mechanical characteristics of different types of clayey soil-Geocomposite Drainage …

This paper provides insight into the causes of post-peak strength loss for textured
geomembrane (GMX) and nonwoven geotextile (NGT) interfaces. The NGT can be part of a …

Tensile strain development in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) geomembrane (GMB) liner
systems in landfills was numerically investigated. A new constitutive model for municipal …
