Impermeable Layer

It is well known that geomembranes frequently and easily fail at the seams, which has been a ubiquitous problem in various applications. To avoid the failure of geomembrane at the seams, photocuring was carried out with 1~5% photoinitiator and 2% carbon black powder. This geomembrane can be sprayed and cured on the soil surface. The obtained geomembrane was then used as a barrier, separator, or reinforcement. In this study, the direct shear tests were carried out with the aim to investigate the interfacial characteristics of photocured geomembrane–clay/sand. The results show that a 2% photoinitiator has a significant effect on the impermeable layer for the photocured geomembrane–clay interface. As for the photocured geomembrane–sand interface, it is reasonable to choose a geomembrane made from a 4% photoinitiator at the boundary of the drainage layer and the impermeable layer in the landfill. In the cover system, it is reasonable to choose a 5% photoinitiator geomembrane. Moreover, as for the interface between the photocurable geomembrane and clay/sand, the friction coefficient increases initially and decreases afterward with the increase of normal stress. Furthermore, the friction angle of the interface between photocurable geomembrane and sand is larger than that of the photocurable geomembrane–clay interface. In other words, the interface between photocurable geomembrane and sand has better shear and tensile crack resistance.

Shear Characteristics

The flow in a hydrostatic pocket is described by a mathematical model that uses the Navier-Stokes equations written in terms of the primary variables, u, v, and p. Using the conservative formulation, a finite difference method is applied through a staggered grid. The power law scheme is applied in the treatment of the convective terms for this highly recirculating flow. The discussion pertaining to the convergence of the numerical scheme and the computational error, shows that the strict convergence criteria applied to both velocities and pressure were successfully statisfied. The numerical model is applied in a parametric mode to the study of the velocities, the pressure patterns, and shear forces that characterize the flow in a square (α = 1), deep (α>1), and shallow (α≪1) hydrostatic pocket. The effects of the variation of the location and angle of the hydrostatic jet are also investigated.

Shear Characteristics

The compressive and shear stiffness of periarticular osteophytes, hypertrophic femoral intercondylar notch and normal articular cartilage were compared by obtaining force-indentation curves and applying a shear force to the cartilage/bone interface. The primary stiffness (at 0–100N load) was similar for osteophytes (391N/mm), intercondylar notch (400N/mm) and normal articular cartilage (401N/mm). By contrast, the secondary stiffness (at 100–500N load) was much higher for the intercondylar notch (493N/mm) compared to the osteophytes (410N/mm). There were two varieties of osteophytes, "pink" and "white". Compared with "pink" osteophytes, "white" osteophytes exhibited features similar to a progressively hardening material and appear to be a more mechanically suitable material as an osteochondral graft for full thickness articular cartilage defect. The shear characteristics of all the samples were similar.
