Geosynthetic clay liners subjected to differential settlement
Article Abstract:
Studies show that geosynthetic clay liners subjected to differential settlement perform well as structural materials. The tensile strains of geosynthetic clay liners can be calculated at different settlement stages based on the observed deformation profile during all test stages. Geosynthetic reinforced mineral sealing layers subjected to nonuniform settlements of solid waste landfills are particularly capable of withstanding extremely high tensile deformations without losing their sealing efficiency caused by friction along the soil-geogrid interface.

Shear strength of reinforce geosynthetic clay liner
Article Abstract:
Robert Gilbert, Federico Fernandez, and David Horsfield conducted an important study on the internal and interface shear strength of a geosynthetic clay liner (GLC) Bentomat. Results show that the GLC is strain-softening in dirct shear and the peak shear strength is greater than the large-displacement shear strength. Residual shear strength differs from the large-displacement strebgth since the shear resistance still decreases at the limit of the instrument's movement.

Shear strength of reinforced geosynthetic clay liner
Article Abstract:
Robert Gilbert, Federico Fernandez, and David Horsfield presented a study on the shear strength of Bentomat geosynthetic clay liners (GLCs). Results indicate that there is a need to develop designs that will combine reinforced GLCs. Their findings can help the GLC industry in determining the focus of their researches, to develop guidelines for the GLC designs, and disseminate informations regarding manufacturing technologies.
