Abstract This study investigated the impact of polymer elution on the interface shear strength between a smooth geomembrane (GMB) and two types of bentonite-polymer (B–P) geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) containing linear and crosslinked polymers. Tests were also conducted with sodium bentonite (Na–B) GCLs as a control. Interface shear tests were conducted with dry, two-stage, and free hydration conditions with varying normal stresses. The results showed that under dry conditions, the displacement at peak strength and shear strength envelops of GMB/Na–B GCL and GMB/B–P GCLs were similar. However, the displacement at peak strength of GMB/B–P GCLs was higher than that of GMB/Na–B GCL under two-stage and free hydration. Meanwhile, the peak shear strength of the GMB/B–P GCLs showed a greater reduction than that of GMB/Na–B GCLs when transitioning from a dry condition to a free hydration condition at the same normal stress, particularly at higher normal stress. Loss on ignition (LOI) tests confirmed that there was a decrease in polymer loading of B–P GCLs after the shearing test, indicating polymer elution occurred during the shearing test. The result suggests that polymer elution had a significant effect on the GMB/B–P GCL interface shear strength, especially at higher normal stress.
Highlights Interface shear tests were conducted on bentonite-polymer (B-P) geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) and one smooth geomembrane. A two-stage hydration procedure and a free hydration procedure were used to simulate the subgrade hydration process of GCLs. The GMBS/B-P GCLs interfaces had a lower peak and large displacement shear strength than that of GMBS/Na-B GCLs. LOI test results confirmed that polymer elution from B-P GCLs after the shearing tests. Retention of retain the polymer in B-P GCLs and minimizing polymer elution is critical to GMBS/GCLs interface.
