Description
Summary:It was of great significance to study the damage evolution mechanism of geomaterial/soil interfaces in landfill seepage control systems to evaluate the slope instability of landfill sites with high dam and large storage capacity. In this paper, the interfacial shear behaviors of geomaterial/soil were studied by drawing test. At the same time, the interface meso-test was used to analyze the change characteristics of geomaterial/soil interfaces during the drawing process. The results showed that under the synergistic action of the interface friction of geotextile/geomembrane and the reinforced shear band at the interface of geotextile/soil, the shear strength and interface stability of the composite geomaterial/soil interface not only increased but also improved. In order to describe the shear deformation and softening characteristics of the geomaterial/soil interfaces, a constitutive model of the interface was established based on the statistical damage theory to study the damage evolution mechanism of the interface under the action of drawing. The fitting results showed that the fitting correlation between the interface constitutive model established in this paper and the shear strength–drawing displacement curves obtained from the tests was greater than 0.97, which indicated that the constitutive model could better describe the shear deformation characteristics of the interface.
