| Abstract | This report presents the results of mechanical and chemical tests on 24 retrieved geosynthetics from 12 sites, across the United States and provides a baseline databank of mechanical and chemical properties of many commonly used geosynthesis in transportation applications as tested by industry. It also provides a summary and synthesis of results and methods from site retrievals and comments on the significance of laboratory index testing in developing durability design protocols. This report is the last report of a comprehensive study on the "Durability of Geosynthetic Materials for highway Applications." Previously published reports include: FHWA RD-97-142--Stress Cracking Potential for HDPE Geogrids; FHWA RD-97-143--Testing Protocols for Confined Creep and Extension Testing of Geosynthetics; FHWA RD-97-144--Testing Protocols for Oxidation and Hydrolysis of Geosynthetics. |
