... ( SEM ) tests—were conducted on lime-soil and fiber-lime-soil to investigate the degradation laws of mechanical properties and microstructural damage characteristics. Results demonstrated that the UCS, tensile strength, and peak strain of both lime-soil and fiber-lime-soil decreased in three distinct...

... to have different accuracy. This paper revisits the problem of geosynthetic-reinforced fills over voids from a probabilistic point of view for reinforcement tensile strain, tensile strength, and geosynthetic stiffness limit states. Particular attention is paid to the method used to select the isochronous...

... tensile seam shear tests were conducted at elevated temperatures, and a significant reduction in the maximum seam tensile strength was observed. The paucity of published data on BGM performance, indication that seams may have low strength after passing ultrasonic testing (Addis et al. 2013...

... in the literature, the creep rupture response of the geotextile changed after installation damage. When tested under similar creep loads (fraction of the sample tensile strength), both geosynthetics exhibited reduced potential for creep rupture and smaller strains at the end of primary creep. Changes in stiffness...

... studied, abrasion is the conditioning mechanism which most affects their tensile strength. An increase of the characteristic opening size of the geosynthetics was observed, while their permittivity did not increase. This may be caused by differences in the test set-ups. Installation damage also results...

... the influence of fibre and cement content on the tensile strength of the treated soil. The fibre reinforcement increases the peak compressive strength. The addition of fibres increases the residual strength and changes the brittle behaviour of the cement-treated clay to that of a more ductile material...

... Tensile strength Turbid flow Figure 1. Turbid flow chamber used in the present study Table 1. Mechanical properties of polyester multifilament woven geotextile (WGT 1) Nominal tensile strength, MD × CMD (kN/m) a 200 × 100 Mass per unit area (g/m^{2) 617 Nominal}...

.... The nonwoven geotextiles' tensile strength was measured before and after plasma treatment to compare the change in strength properties. The present experimental results show that the tensile strength of the nonwoven geotextiles increased after plasma treatment, with the largest increase observed in polyvinyl...

... Thomas Telford Ltd 2006 Geosynthetics Weathering Degradation Geotextile Seawater Tensile strength Tear strength Puncture strength The weathering properties of the geotextiles were evaluated using grab tensile, strip tensile, trapezoidal tear, and puncture tests according to the ASTM D...

... and Chiou (2006) performed a series of laboratory tests based on the same standard tests mentioned above. In Huang and Chiou's study the aggregate size and tensile strength of the geogrid were varied to investigate their effects on the values of PSR and/or F_ID. Their findings were...
