(Main)Geosynthetics - Determination of the pyramid puncture resistance of supported geosynthetics
General Information
- Abstract
This document specifies an index test method to determine the puncture resistance of a geosynthetic on a rigid support.
This method simulates the efficiency of a geosynthetic protecting a geosynthetic barrier material or an other contact surface against sharp rigid elements under short term loading.
Annex A (informative) specifies a test method which could be applicable to a soft support.
