-For each analysis, the tensile strains were calculated from the deformed spacing betwl <br /> + adjacent grid points in the surface against the initial grid spacing. A characteristic curve of <br /> maximum tensile strains versus ratio of void width (4) to controlled fill thickness r"° <br /> developed from the analyses' results. This curve is presented in Figure 4. <br /> 2.0 <br /> 1.8 d <br /> o .. 1.6 <br /> N 1.4 <br /> m m <br /> 1.2 O <br /> r 0 <br /> c <br /> 1- 1.0 <br /> E "' <br /> 3 m 0.8 • <br /> E 0.6 0 <br /> `x C <br /> �0 0 0.4 �® <br /> 0.2 ,o - <br /> �O <br /> 0.0 <br /> 0.0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8_.. 1.0 1.2 <br /> Ratio of Void Width to Controlled FII Thickness (LI,/T) <br /> Figure 4 Maximum tensile strain versus ratio of void width/controlled fill thickne <br /> on 0.9m x 0.9m x 1.8m (3' ' 6') void <br /> 3.5 <br /> LEGEND <br /> 3.0Q LEONARD ( BEAM FLEXURE TESTS I <br /> O TSCMEBOTARIOFF (DIRECT TENSION TESTS I <br /> O WES DATA (DIRECT TENSION TESTS I <br /> z <br /> 20 <br /> N <br /> W <br /> _J <br /> N <br /> 2 <br /> W <br /> O <br /> Q Q <br /> Q O <br /> 0 <br /> I 10 100 1000 <br /> PLASTICITY INDEX,x <br /> Figure 5 Tensile strain versus plasticity index <br /> (After Gilbert and Murphy, 1987) <br /> 1506-Vancouver,Canada-Geosynthetics'93 <br />
