Abstract

The effect of temperature on soil–geomembrane interface shear strength is investigated using a large direct shear device placed inside a walk-in temperature chamber. Geomembranes with different thicknesses and surfaces (smooth and textured) were used in this study. The tests were performed under range of varying normal stresses. The influence of the temperature on both peak and residual interface shear strength, as well as the displacement characteristics was analyzed. The study results show that the soil–geomembrane interface shear strength is lower at higher temperatures. A reduction in the interface shear strength of as much as 20% was observed in the tests performed at 42 °C compared to the tests performed at 3 °C. The results also show that much larger displacements are needed at higher temperatures to mobilize peak interface shear strength.
