| Summary: | Based on the direct shear test results of interface between a composite geomembrane and cushion material, nonlinear elastic, perfectly plastic model was used to describe the interface behaviors. The interface model was incorporated into the Geogrid element of a fast Lagrange analysis of continua in three dimensions (FLAC3D) procedure through a user-defined program in the FISH. Then a geomembrane surfaced rock-fill dam on thick pervious foundation was numerically analyzed using the incorporated model. The numerical results showed that only small tension deformation can be found in the most area of geomembrane on the dam surface. However, large tension deformation of geomembrane appeared close to the anchorage in the peripheral zone of the barrier. The anchorage structure of geomembrane in this area should be carefully designed to avoid tension failure of geomembrane. |
