Abstract
Short-term mechanical tests are divided into categories dealing with load–extension characteristics as tensile tests and integrity characteristics obtained from tear propagation and puncture tests. Tensile tests are index tests performed unconfined (in air) to approximate real plane strain conditions. Special tensile tests are tests on seamed geotextiles, cyclic tensile tests, confined tensile tests, and tensile tests at low or elevated temperatures. Integrity tests are puncture tests such as the static puncture test (California bearing ratio), pyramid puncture test, and dynamic puncture test as well as tear and impact tests. The ISO and ASTM test methods for overlapping standards are compared.
