Geotextiles in aggressive soils
AbstractGeotextiles are polymers used in ground engineering for purposes such as filtration, drainage and reinforcement, requiring durability over long lifetimes. In spite of concern with their chemical, biological and ultraviolet degradation the principal damage identified so far is that generated during compaction of the surrounding soil. Tests have been performed using a variety of geotextiles and backfills to establish the extent of this damage, and to determine the reductions in strength and appropriate safety factors. The test method described will form the basis of a standard method of evaluating installation damage.
