New Perspectives on Bentonite Hydration and Shear Strength of GCL-Sand Interfaces Based on Particle Shape Characterizations
Tóm tắt
Interface friction in GCL-sand interfaces is primarily controlled by the shape characteristics of the sand grains and the surface texture of the GCL. Friction at the GCL-sand interface is also affected by the hydration of bentonite present in the GCL, which alters the interaction mechanisms of sand and GCL. The present study involves the use of image analysis for the characterization of sand particles and identification of changes in surface characteristics of GCL coupled with the effects of bentonite hydration on interface shear response. River sand and manufactured sand of similar gradation were used in the study. Based on the shape quantifications, manufactured sand particles are relatively elongated and rough compared to natural sand particles. Interface shear tests were carried out on these sands interfaced with the woven geosynthetic surface of the GCL for normal stresses in the range of 7–100 kPa. Initial water content in the sand layer was varied to understand the hydration and swelling effects of bentonite. Results showed improved interaction with manufactured sand, enabling effective particle-asperities interlocking, due to their shape. In addition, the use of manufactured sand resulted in less hydration of the bentonite layer, resulting in better interface shear strength. Hydration-related surface changes to the GCL specimens investigated through image analysis corroborated the effects of particle shape on the interface shear response.
