Abstract:A set of direct shear tests conducted to investigate the effects of sand mean grain size and geomembrane surface roughness on the shear behavior of the sand-geomembrane interface. Four types of sands with different mean grain sizes were used and the interfaces included a smooth geomembrane and four textured ones with different asperity characteristics. The samples were prepared in a direct shear box at five sedimentation angles. The experimental results showed that the peak friction angle of the soil-textured … Show more
