DEVICE FOR THE SUBJECTION OF GEOSYNTHETICS IN DIRECT CUTTING TESTS AND METHODS OF SUBJECTING GEOSYNTHETICS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SAME.

摘要

Device for securing geosynthetics in direct cut tests and methods of securing geosynthetics associated with it. The device consists of a rigid support (2) and a plate (1) joined by fixing means, in which the rigid support (2) comprises a jaw (3) at one of its ends to tie the geosynthetic and the plate (1) comprises several through holes (4) for drainage in a series of channels (5) made on one of its main faces; said plate (1) has, on the opposite side to which the channels (5) are made, a series of projections (6) of pyramidal shape whose height h is comprised between 1 mm and 1.5 mm and which are arranged on the treadmill . The invention also comprises methods of fastening geosynthetics that employ this device.
