BS EN 13719:2016 - TC

This standard BS EN 13719:2016 - TC Tracked Changes. Geosynthetics. Determination of the long term protection efficiency of geosynthetics in contact with geosynthetic barriers is classified in these ICS categories:

• 59.080.70 Geotextiles
• 91.100.50 Binders. Sealing materials

This European Standard is an index test used to determine the efficiency with which a geosynthetic product will protect a geosynthetic barrier or other contact surface against the mechanical long term effects of static point loads. The test is performed on the geosynthetic product in isolation. It measures the strains experienced by a geosynthetic product in contact with a deformable pad. NOTE Other properties relevant to the protection of geosynthetic barriers against differing actions are covered by other standards, e.g. dynamic perforation is covered in EN ISO 13433. A related performance test simulating specific site conditions is described in Annex B (informative).
