Tim Stark on Effect of Soil Fines on Geosynthetic Interface Shear Strength
The interface between a geosynthetic drainage composite (GDC) and textured geomembrane (GMX) is assumed to be free of soil particles and other debris to facilitate drainage, maintain interface shear resistance, and minimize clogging. However, soil particles usually can pass through the GDC and accumulate on the upper surface of the primary-GMX during landfill construction and operation
