Experimental Research on the Physi-Mechanical Performances of Geosynthetics

Abstract

The physi-mechanical performances of geosynthetics were studied by the test on the geosynthetics produced by one factory. Tests of stretching, top-breaking, pierce, tearing, etc. under different materials, temperatures and moistures were done by indoor study, thus studying the physi-mechanical performances of geosynthetics under different conditions. The research shows: the stretching performance of nonwoven textile is better than the woven textile's; The influence of temperature on the geosynthetics is remarkable, it should be emphasized during the construction; The moisture has a little impaction on the mechanical performance of geosynthetics; These achievements provide scientifical data and references for the physi-mechanical performances of geosynthetics, while no further study on the long-term effect, it should be studied in future.
