Table 2 Shear strength parameters from shear tests on GCL-sand interfaces.
From: Engineering benefits of replacing natural sand with manufactured sand in landfill construction
Interface | Water content in sand (w) in percentage | Interface friction angle δ (degrees) | Interface adhesion ap (kPa) | Friction efficiency of the interface δ/ϕsand |
|---|---|---|---|---|
GCL-Msand (dry) | 0 | 41.66 | 20.07 | 0.94 |
GCL-River sand (dry) | 0 | 38.35 | 16.21 | 0.93 |
GCL-Msand (saturated) | 18 | 32.21 | 10.23 | 0.87 |
GCL-River sand (saturated) | 18 | 28.81 | 9.57 | 0.84 |
