ABSTRACT
Geosynthetics cover a wide range of materials, applications and environments. The evaluation of the properties of a geosynthetic is important in ensuring that it will adequately perform the intended function when used in the man-made project, structure or system as an integral part. A l l the properties of a geosynthetic may not be important for every application. The required properties and characteristics of geosynthetics depend on their purpose and the desired function in a given application.
