Geosynthetics have increasingly been used in geotechnical engineering applications due to their numerous benefits, including the cost-effectiveness, reliability and contribution to sustainability. When employed in transport infrastructure projects, geosynthetics may perform a variety of functions, leading to increased stability and longevity of the system. This paper describes a laboratory study carried out using a large-scale direct shear test apparatus to characterise the direct shear behaviour of the interfaces between a recycled construction and demolition (C&D) material and two geosynthetics (a geogrid and a geocomposite) subjected to cyclic normal loading. The direct shear tests were performed under a constant shear displacement rate, while the normal loading varied cyclically at predefined frequency and amplitude values. Direct shear tests under static normal loading were also performed for comparison purposes. Test results have shown that the interface shear strength and dilation behaviour tend to decrease under cyclic normal loading and are influenced by the applied frequency and amplitude. The peak and large displacement shear strengths of the interface with the geogrid exceeded those reached when the geocomposite was used, which may be attributed to more effective interlocking of the aggregates within the geogrid apertures.
