ABSTRACT
This article uses mathematical modeling to present a complementary approach for determining the failure over the geosynthetic's lifetime. Its relevance is in developing an exponential mathematical model to evaluate the durability of polypropylene woven geotextiles exposed in the field since exposure to the environment is of considerable complexity. It was found that the sum of resistance losses of the isolated periods cannot be considered equivalent to resistance loss for the total exposure period due to the accumulation of damages that the material subject. There was also a greater loss in the second exposure cycle compared to the first, justified by the damage that the polymer matrix structure had already accumulated during winter and spring. It was concluded that the durability of intact geosynthetics exposed to weathering factors presents itself differently due to different atmospheric dynamics since each period or season presented its peculiarities.
