ASTM D6243 Standard Test Method for Internal and Interfacial Shear Strength of Geosynthetic Clay Lining by Direct Shear Method

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ASTM D6243 standard. This test method covers a procedure for determining the internal shear strength of a Geosynthetic Clay Lining (GCL), or the interface shear strength between the GCL and an adjacent material under a constant rate of deformation.

This test method aims to demonstrate the performance of the selected sample by attempting to model specific site conditions.

This test method applies to all GCLs. Remolded or undisturbed soil samples can be used in the tester.

This test method is not suitable for developing full stress-strain relationships within the test specimen due to the uneven distribution of shear forces and displacement.

Values ​​stated in SI units should be accepted as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
