EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF TIME-DEPENDENT EFFECT ON SHEAR STRENGTH PARAMETERS OF SAND–GEOTEXTILE INTERFACE

The time-dependent behavior of soils has been investigated extensively using onedimensional and triaxial tests. The phenomena associated with time effects in soils are creep, relaxation, strain rate and re-arrangement effects. The engineering properties of soil are often improved significantly with the elapse of time. The objective of this paper is to investigate the time-dependent effect on the shear strength parameters of sand–geosynthetic...
