Grady, Auteur ; Matthew C. Ulmer, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : pp. 863–874 Note générale : Geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Geosynthetics Instrumentation Sensors Strain Résumé : A novel technique is developed based on the piezoresistivity of electrically filled polymers to measure the tensile strain in modified geosynthetics without the need for conventional instrumentation (e.g., strain gauges). This paper reports the development of the technique and the results obtained on high-density polyethylene and polypropylene (PP) geogrid specimens filled with carbon black and carbon nanotubes (NTs). It was found that except for NT-filled PP specimens all other composites exhibited significant strain sensitivity in their conductivity. The proof-of-concept study reported in this paper has two important features: (1) strain sensitivity of electrical conductivity was demonstrated in polyolefins used to manufacture geosynthetics; and (2) this strain sensitivity was obtained and demonstrated over the range of strain values that are important in geosynthetic engineering applications.
