...N. M. Al-Akhras; M. F. Attom; K. M. Al-Akhras; A. I. H. Malkawi This study investigated the effect of two types of fibers (natural and synthetic) on the swelling properties of clayey soils. Nylon and palmyra fibers with different aspect ratios (L/d) were mixed with three types...

... geomembranes, textured geomembranes, drainage geocomposites, and soil. Peak and large-displacement shear strengths are reported, along with displacements at peak strength and post-peak strength ratios. The database is useful for: (1) gaining insight into the shear behavior of GCLs; (2) illustrating...

...S.W. Perkins; E.V. Cuelho Pullout tests are commonly used to describe the ultimate shearing resistance developed along the interface between the confining soil and the geosynthetic as a function of normal stress confinement. Pullout tests can also be used to define the complete soil-geosynthetic...
