Significance and Use4.1 The shear strength of soil-geosynthetic interfaces and geosynthetic-geosynthetic interfaces is a critical design parameter formany civil engineering projects, including, but not limited to waste containment systems, mini

24、ng applications, dam designsinvolving geosynthetics, reinforced mechanically stabilized earth structures, and reinforced soil slopes, and liquid impoundments.Since geosynthetic interfaces often serve as a weak plane on which sliding may occur, shear strengths of these interfaces are neededto assess

25、the stability of earth materials resting on these interfaces, such as a waste mass or ore body over a lining system or theability of a final cover to remain on a slope. Accordingly, project-specific shear testing using representative materials underconditions similar to those expected in the field i

26、s recommended for final design. Shear strengths of geosynthetic interfaces areobtained by either Test Method D5321D5321/D5321M (geosynthetics) or D6243D6243/D6243M (geosynthetic clay liners). Thisguide touches upon some of the issues that should be considered when evaluating shear strength data. Bec

27、ause of the large numberof potential conditions that could exist, there may be other conditions not identified in this guide that could affect interpretationof the results. The seemingly infinite combinations of soils, geosynthetics, hydration, and wetting conditions, normal loaddistributions, strai

28、n rates, creep, pore pressures, etc., will always require individual engineering evaluations by qualifiedpractitioners. Along the same lines, the list of references provided in this guide is not exhaustive, nor are the findings andsuggestions of any particular reference meant to be considered conclu

29、sive. The references and their related findings are presentedherein only as examples available in the literature of the types of considerations that others have found useful when evaluatingdirect shear test results.4.2 The figures included in this guide are only examples intended to demonstrate sele

30、cted concepts related to direct shear testingof geosynthetics. The values shown in the figures may not be representative and should not be used for design purposes. Sitespecific and material-specific tests should always be performed.5. Shear Strength Fundamentals5.1 Mohr first presented a theory for

31、 shear failure, showing that a material experiences failure at a critical combination of normaland shear stress, and not through some maximum normal or shear stress alone. In other words, the shear stress on a given failureplane was shown to be a function of the normal stress acting on that plane (5

32、):5f! (1)If a series of shear tests at different values of normal stress is performed, and the stress circle corresponding to failure is plottedfor each test, at least one point on each circle must represent the normal and shear stress combination associated with failure (6).As the number of tests i

33、ncreases, a failure envelope (line tangent to the failure circles) for the material becomes apparent (Fig. 1).5.2 In general, the failure envelope described by Eq 1 is a curved line for many materials (5). For most geotechnical engineeringproblems, the shear stress on the failure plane is approximat

34、ed as a linear function of the total or effective normal stress withinD7702/D7702M 142a selected normal stress range, as shown in Fig. 1. This linear approximation is known as the Mohr-Coulomb shear strengthenvelope. In the case of total stresses, the Mohr-Coulomb shear strength envelope is expresse

35、d as:5ca1tan (2)where: = shear stress, = normal stress, = friction angle (degrees), andca = adhesionIn the case of effective stresses, the linear failure envelope is:5ca 1 2 u! tan (3)or5ca 1 tan where:u = pore pressure, = effective normal stress, = drained friction angle (degrees), andca = effectiv

36、e stress adhesionNOTE 1Adhesion, ca, is commonly associated with interface shear strength results. Cohesion, c, is often associated with internal shear strength resultsinvolving soils or GCLs. Mathematically, these terms are the identical; simply the y-intercept of the Mohr-Coulomb shear strength en

37、velope, or in otherwords, the component of shear strength indicated by the term ca, in Coulombs equation, = ca + tan .NOTE 2The end user is cautioned that some organizations (for example, FHWA (8), AASHTO (9) along with state agencies who are using thesedocuments) are currently using the Greek lette

38、r, Delta (), to designate wall-backfill interface friction angle and the Greek letter, Rho (), to designatethe interface friction angle between geosynthetics and soil.5.3 Since most laboratory direct shear tests do not include pore pressure measurements, shear strength results reported bylaboratorie

39、s are normally expressed in terms of total normal stress. For direct shear tests involving geosynthetics, Test MethodsD5321D5321/D5321M and D6243D6243/D6243M provide recommendations for shear displacement rates intended to allowdissipation of pore water pressures generated during shearing. Recommend

40、ed shear rates are 0.2 in./min for geosynthetic(non-GCL) interface tests, 0.04 in./min for geosynthetic/soil (including hydrated GCLs) interface tests (10), and 0.004 in./min forhydrated GCL internal shear tests (11). However, as shown by Obermeyer et al. (12), even slower displacement rates may ben

41、eeded for GCLs and high-plasticity clay soils to ensure that positive pore pressures do not develop during shearing. If testsinvolving GCLs or clays are loaded or sheared too quickly, excess pore water pressures could develop, and results may not berepresentative of field conditions, which are often

42、 assumed to be drained. The assumption of drained conditions is reasonablebecause drainage layers are common in liner systems and because field loading rates are generally slow (13, 11). From Eq 3,positive pore pressures that are not allowed to dissipate will decrease the measured shear stress. Test

43、s that are sheared undrainedmay yield erroneous results similar to those discussed in Section 9. Drained and undrained strengths are not interchangeable froma design perspective.5.4 Combinations of shear stress and normal stress that fall on the Mohr-Coulomb shear strength envelope indicate that a s

44、hearfailure will occur. Combinations below the shear strength envelope represent a non-failure state of stress (14). A state of stressabove the envelope cannot exist, since shear failure would have already occurred.FIG. 1 Curved Mohr failure envelopeFailure Envelope and equivalentEquivalent Mohr-Cou

Measurement and Reporting of Shear Strength by Test Methods D5321/D5321MD5321/D6243 / D6243/D6243M6.1 The shear resistance between geosynthetics or between a geosynthetic and a soil is determined by placing the geos

46、yntheticand one or more contact surfaces, such as soil, within a direct shear box. A constant normal stress representative of field stressesis applied to the specimen, and a tangential (shear) force is applied to the apparatus so that one section of the box moves in relationto the other section. The

47、 shear force is recorded as a function of the shear displacement of the moving section of the shear box.6.2 The test is run until the shear displacement exceeds 75 mm 3 in. or other value specified by the user. Note that 75 mmof displacement is the practical upper limit of most direct shear devices.

48、6.3 The testing laboratory plots the test data as a graph of applied shear force versus shear displacement. The peak shear forceand the shear force at the end of the test are identified. The shear displacements associated with these shear forces are alsodetermined. An example set of shear-displaceme

49、nt plots for a typical textured geomembrane/reinforced GCL interface is shownin Fig. 2a. Typical shear-displacement behavior of geosynthetic interfaces is discussed further in Section 9.6.4 The shear stresses applied to the specimen for each recorded shear force are calculated by dividing the shear force by thespecimen area. For tests in which the area of specimen contact decreases with increased displacement, a corrected area should becalculated, unless other technical interpretation arrangements are m
