Abstract
Considering the strain-softening characteristics of the pull-out interface between geotextiles and tailings; to determine the interface interaction characteristics, this paper proposes a trilinear shear stress displacement softening model of geotextile-reinforced tailings. The obtained nonlinear governing equations were dimensionless, which were expressed in finite difference form. The results indicated that an accurate numerical solution could be obtained within a reasonable calculation time by discretizing the reinforcement length into 300 units. Three new dimensionless interaction terms, namely, the relative stiffness α, relative displacement β, and relative interface shear stiffness η of the reinforcement-tailings interaction, were introduced. In addition, an estimation method based on the approximate value of the relative stiffness α of the reinforcement-soil interface in the low-tensile-force displacement range was proposed. The interface shear stress range according to parameters α, β, and η was parameterized, and the normalization relationship between the tensile force and pull-out end displacement was determined. The numerical values calculated by the model were compared with the pull-out test results, demonstrating that the proposed model can accurately predict the pull-out behavior of the extensible reinforcement.
