Abstract

Geosynthetics used as geotextiles/geomembranes lose their mechanical properties when exposed to outdoor solar radiation. The UV-component present in the solar radiation is main cause for such degradation of mechanical properties. The life of geosynthetics has to be predicted before the intended purpose by exposing the material under artificial UV-radiation in the laboratory. Simulation of UV-radiation has been set up for accelerated ageing condition of Mumbai climate.
