Localized shear strength mobilization at geosynthetic interfaces caused by spreading soil upslope

Localized interface shear strength failures have occurred during placement and spreading of cover soils on top of geosynthetic layers on slopes using construction equipment, typically bulldozers (‘dozers’). The mechanisms of these types of failures are rarely considered and evaluated in design repor...
