Creep behavior of geosynthetics is commonly determined by means of creep tests performed with in-isolation specimens. Soil-geosynthetic interaction and duration of the tests were already addressed in previous studies with ...

A study of the influence and interaction of the main parameters involved on the buckling behaviour of masonry walls subjected to vertical loading is presented. For this purpose, the effects of the variation of the slenderness ...

This paper presents results from stress cracking (SC) tests performed in both fresh and exposed high density polyethylene (HDPE) geomembranes (GM). The HDPE GMs were exposed to ultraviolet radiation, thermal aging (air ...

A major aspect in geosynthetics creep analysis is the load level applied to the specimen, usually referred as a percentage of the geosynthetic ultimate tensile strength (UTS). Since both tensile and creep standard tests ...

The use of low permeability fine local soils instead of granular materials has been common in several countries due to the significant reduction of the costs associated with the transport of granular materials extracted ...

Moire interferometry-a high sensitivity whole-field optical technique-was used to follow the evolution of the deformation process of an aluminium sample subjected to a uniaxial tensile test. This technique allowed us to ...
