(Guide)Standard Guide for Selecting Test Methods for Experimental Evaluation of Geosynthetic Durability
Standard Guide for Selecting Test Methods for Experimental Evaluation of Geosynthetic Durability
SCOPE
1.1 This guide covers a designer/specifier through a systematic determination of those factors of the appropriate application environment that may affect the post-construction service life of a geosynthetic. Subsequently, test methods are recommended to facilitate an experimental evaluation of the durability of geosynthetics in a specified environment so that the durability can be considered in the design process.
1.2 This guide is not intended to address durability issues associated with the manufacturing, handling, transportation, or installation environments.
