Shear Strength of Single and Multi-Layer Soil–Geosynthetic and Geosynthetic–Geosynthetic Interfaces Using Large Direct Shear Testing
Original research · free full-paper access · authors credited
Research overview
Large direct-shear tests compare single interfaces with a multilayer soil/geotextile/geomembrane/GCL liner stack. For the tested materials, single-interface peak and large-displacement strengths were generally lower, while multilayer tests better represented stress transfer; neither configuration alone covers all materials and field conditions. AKS Liner and Kaytech donated specimens but have no author in the paper.
