BS EN 13719:2002 Geotextiles and geotextile-related products - Determination of the long term protection efficiency of geotextiles in contact with geosynthetic barriers
This European Standard is an index test used to determine the efficiency with which a geotextile or geotextilerelated
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 geotextile or geotextile-related product in isolation. It measures the strains
experienced by a geotextile or geotextile-related 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 918.
A related performance test simulating specific site conditions is described in annex B.
