Analysis of the Elastic-Plastic Theoretical Model of the Pull-Out Interface between Geosynthetics and Tailings

Figure 21

Evolution of the interfacial shear stress in the different stages of the pull-out process of the reinforced tailings (strain-softening reinforcement): (a) elastic stage; (b) elastic-softening transition stage; (c) pure softening stage; (d) softening-residual transition stage; and (e) pure residual stage.
