Centrifuge Modeling and Digital Image Cross-Correlation Analysis of Geofiber-Reinforced Clay-Based Landfill Covers
AbstractThe influence of discrete and randomly distributed fibers (DRDF) on the improvement of the resistance to cracking of clay-based landfill covers was studied by conducting a series of centrifuge model tests. A motor-based differential settlement simulator (MDSS) was used to induce differential settlements to the soil layers during centrifuge tests performed at 40g using the 4.5 m radius beam centrifuge at Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. A digital image cross-correlation (DIC) technique was used to capture deformations of the model barriers and to obtain strain field distributions. Thickness of the unreinforced barriers (URSB) and fiber-reinforced barriers (FRSB) were varied as 15 mm (similar to 0.6 m in the field) and 25 mm (1.0 m). Fiber lengths were varied as 30, 60, and 90 mm. The strain at water breakthrough of 15 mm (0.6 m) and 25 mm (1 m) FRSB were respectively 1.9 and 2.2 times higher compared to identical URSBs. A relatively crack-free surface was observed for FRSB with longer fibers even after subjected to differential settlement of 1 m.
