Effect of temperature on critical strength of geosynthetic clay liner / textured geomembrane composite systems
Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of temperature on the shear behavior and critical strength of composite systems comprising of a geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) and textured geomembrane (GMX). For this purpose, displacement-controlled internal and interface direct shear tests were performed at both room temperature (≈20 °C) and an elevated temperature of 80 °C on three GCL/GMX composite systems at normal stresses varying from 100 kPa to 2000 kPa. An increase in the test temperature resulted in peak shear strength reduction up to 45% in GCL internal shear tests and up to 46% in GCL-GMX interface shear tests. The large-displacement shear strength at the elevated temperature was also reduced by up to 32% in GCL internal shear tests and up to 48% in GCL-GMX interface shear tests.
Highlights Conducted GCL internal and GCL-GMX interface shear tests. Testing conducted under high normal stress and elevated temperature. GCL peak and large displacement internal shear reduced at elevated temperature. GCL-GMX interface critical strength reduced at elevated temperature when the same failure mode occurred.
