... mechanisms: interlocking and friction. For geotextile/geomembrane and drainage geocomposite/geomembrane interfaces, the higher the asperity height, the higher the interface shear strength. Whereas for soil/geomembrane interfaces, the higher the soil shear strength, the higher the interface shear strength...

... contents of as-received (19%), 50 and 100%. Both peak and large-displacement (50 mm) shear strength parameters were determined. For cover liners, temperature was determined to have a greater influence on interface shear strength than moisture content, whereas bottom liner shear strength was influenced more...

The majority of failures are controlled by slippage at interfaces between lining components. Information on variability of interface shear strength is required both...

...P. Chiu; P. J. Fox This paper presents information from a large database that has been compiled on internal and interface shear strengths of geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs). The data were obtained from the literature, GCL manufacturers, and the authors' own tests, and are representative of the most...
