• Abstract:
  Geotextiles are commonly used in pavements, earth retaining structures, landfills and other geotechnical contexts. Various tests are conducted to evaluate and classify geotextiles to determine their suitability for each of these applications. The ASTM standard recently changed from the standard pin puncture strength test, D4833, to the California bearing ratio (CBR) puncture strength test, D6241; however, transportation authorities across the country still vary in their standards. The objective of this research was to correlate the CBR and pin puncture strengths for various categories of geotextiles, regardless of weave type and mass per unit area. Deterioration of geotextiles due to freeze-thaw conditioning as well as ultraviolet (UV) light exposure were also investigated.
