Abstract
This paper provides recommendations for clamping/gripping of geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) when performing ASTM D6243, Test Method for Determining the Internal and Interface Shear Resistance of Geosynthetic Clay Liners by the Direct Shear Method. Currently, there is significant variability between laboratories in shear testing procedures for GCLs; with the primary difference being related to specimen clamping/gripping. The recommendations presented in this paper are intended to provide suggestions for consistent test results both within and between laboratories.
