... technology of underground structures. In this paper, the filtration compatibility of clay-nonwoven geotextiles was evaluated using a newly developed gradient ratio test device that can apply normal stress. Two fabrication technics and four specifications of nonwoven geotextiles were used to filter clay...

...H.T. Eid; C.K. Doerfler Torsional ring shear tests were performed to evaluate the effect of shear displacement rate on the internal shear strength of a needle-punched geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) under different normal stresses. The test results suggest that the internal shear strength...
