This study presents the results of cyclic shear tests on HDPE geomembrane/clay soil interfaces at strains < 1 % and investigates the effect of such interfaces on the seismic performance of landfills. Laboratory cyclic shear tests were performed on both textured and smooth HDPE geomembrane materials overlying a silty clay material.
