Geosynthetics laboratories
|
 |
|
|
In Geosynthetics Laboratories it is possible to perform the following tests:
chemical and physical tests for the basic characterisation of materials ("fingerprinting")
mechanical tests for the determination of tensile, compressive, puncture, tear, burst and impact strength parameters, and for the evaluation of joints / seams characteristics
|
hydraulic tests for the determination of normal permeability, pore size, in-plane permeability, water absorption and watertightness parameters
durability tests for the evaluation of materials behaviour in presence of aggressive liquids, atmospheric agents and extreme temperatures, and for the determination of tensile creep and compressive creep parameters, as well as stress cracking parameters
tests on materials interaction with soils, for the evaluation of materials behaviour at the interface with different soils and for the evaluation of the mechanical damage during installation of granular materials.
