Significance and Use4.1 The shear strength of soil-geo

24、synthetic interfaces and geosynthetic-geosynthetic interfaces is a critical design parameter formany civil engineering projects, including, but not limited to waste containment systems, mining applications, dam designsinvolving geosynthetics, reinforced slopes, and liquid impoundments. Since geosynt

25、hetic interfaces often serve as a weak planeon which sliding may occur, shear strengths of these interfaces are needed to assess the stability of earth materials resting on theseinterfaces, such as a waste mass or ore body over a lining system or the ability of a final cover to remain on a slope. Ac

26、cordingly,project-specific shear testing using representative materials under conditions similar to those expected in the field is recommendedfor final design. Shear strengths of geosynthetic interfaces are obtained by either Test Methods D5321 (geosynthetics) or D6243(geosynthetic clay liners). Thi

27、s guide touches upon some of the issues that should be considered when evaluating shear strengthdata. Because of the large number of potential conditions that could exist, there may be other conditions not identified in this guidethat could affect interpretation of the results. The seemingly infinit

28、e combinations of soils, geosynthetics, hydration, and wettingconditions, normal load distributions, strain rates, creep, pore pressures, etc., will always require individual engineering evaluationsby qualified practitioners. Along the same lines, the list of references provided in this standard is

29、not exhaustive, nor are thefindings and suggestions of any particular reference meant to be considered conclusive. The references and their related findingsare presented herein only as examples available in the literature of the types of considerations that others have found useful whenevaluating di

The values shown in the figures may not be representative and should not be used for design purposes. Sitespecific and material-

31、specific tests should always be performed.5. Shear Strength Fundamentals5.1 Mohr (1776) first presented a theory for shear failure, showing that a material experiences failure at a critical combinationof normal and shear stress, and not through some maximum normal or shear stress alone. In other wor

32、ds, the shear stress on a givenfailure plane was shown to be a function of the normal stress acting on that plane (5):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 eac

33、h circle must represent the normal and shear stress combination associated with failure (24).As the number of tests increases, 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 Equation (1) is a curve

34、d line for many materials (5). For most geotechnicalengineering problems, the shear stress on the failure plane is approximated as a linear function of the total or effective normal stressD7702 132within a selected normal stress range, as shown in Fig. 1. This linear approximation is known as the Mo

35、hr-Coulomb failure shearstrength envelope. In the case of total stresses, the Mohr-Coulomb failure shear strength envelope is expressed as:5c1tan (2)where: 5 shear stress, 5 normal stress, 5 friction angle degrees!,andc 5 cohesion or adhesion between two materials! 5 ca1 tan (2)where: 5 shear stress

36、, 5 normal stress, 5 friction angle degrees!,andc a 5 adhesionIn the case of effective stresses, the linear failure envelope is:5c 12u!tan (3)or5c1 tan 5ca 1 tan (3)or5ca 1(2u) tanwhere:u = Pore pressure, = effective normal stress, = drained friction angle (degrees), and = drained friction angle (de

Cohesion, c, is often associated with internal shear strength resultsinvolving soils or GCLs. Mathematically, these terms are the identic

39、cuments) are currentlyusing the Greek letter, Delta (), to designate wall-backfill interface friction angle and the Greek letter, Rho (), to designate the interface friction anglebetween geosynthetics and soil (Reference: AASHTO, 2010.

However, as shown by Obermeyer et al (23), even slower displacement rates may be needed for GCLs andhigh-p

44、lasticity clay soils to ensure that positive pore pressures do not develop during shearing. If tests involving GCLs or claysare loaded or sheared too quickly, excess pore water pressures could develop, and results may not be representative of fieldconditions, which are often assumed to be drained. T

45、he assumption of drained conditions is reasonable because drainage layersare common in liner systems and because field loading rates are generally slow (11, 7). From Equation (3), positive pore pressuresthat are not allowed to dissipate will decrease the measured shear stress. Tests that are sheared

46、 undrained may yield erroneousresults similar to those discussed in Section 9. Drained and undrained strengths are not interchangeable from a design perspective.5.4 Combinations of shear stress and normal stress that fall on the Mohr-Coulomb failure shear strength envelope indicate thata shear failu

Combinations below the failure shear strength envelope represent a non-failure state of stress (1).Astateof stress above the envelope cannot exist, since shear failure would have already occurred.6. Measurement and Reporting of Shear Strength by Test Methods D5321/D62436.1 The shear r

Note that75 mm of displacement is the practical upper limit of most direct shear devices.6.3 The testing laboratory plots the test data as a graph
