Experimental study on dynamic shear characteristics
of a geomembrane-geotextile interface
Textured geomembrane (GMX) and non-woven geotextile (GT) are important components of the liner system in MSW landfills. GMX-GT interface characteristics are sensitive to the stability of landfills. However
the dynamic behavior of the GMX-GT interface is not well understood. A series of cyclic direct shear tests was conducted on the GMX-GT interface under dry and fully saturated conditions. The effects of vertical stress
displacement amplitude
and cycle times on the dynamic behavior of the GMX-GT interface were studied. The dynamic behaviors of the GMX-GT interface under dry and fully saturated conditions were compared. The results demonstrated that the GMX-GT interface changed from shear hardening to shear softening with the increase of displacement amplitude. Meanwhile
the internal friction angle of the GMX-GT interface increased with the increase of displacement amplitude due to the cyclic shear. The GMX-GT interface was mainly characterized by shear shrinkage. The total shear shrinkage increased with the increase of vertical stress
displacement amplitude and cycle times. The shear stiffness increased with the increase of vertical stress and cycle times
while decreased with the increase of displacement amplitude. The damping ratio increased with the increase of displacement amplitude and decreased with the increase of cycle times
indicating that the displacement amplitude increased the energy dissipation of GMX-GT interface. The failure pattern was obvious different under the two conditions. The internal failure of GT was more significant under dry conditions
and the surface failure of GMX was more obvious under fully saturated conditions.
