Scope
This document describes a method to determine the friction characteristics of geosynthetics (geotextiles and
geotextile-related products, geosynthetic barriers), in contact with soils, at low normal stress, using an inclining
plane apparatus.
This test method is primarily intended as a performance test to be used with site specific soils but may also be used as
an index test with standard sand.
Test data obtained for geogrids tested with a rigid support are not necessarily realistic as the results depend on the
friction support.
