The interface shear behavior of soil against geosynthetic is important in the design of geosynthetic-reinforced soil structures. This study involves the use of a series of Monotonic Direct Shear (MDS) tests, Cyclic Direct Shear (CDS) tests and Post-cyclic Direct Shear (PCDS) tests to investigate the...
