Geosynthetic Properties: HDPE_GEOMEMBRANE
Geosynthetic material properties — woven and nonwoven geotextiles, biaxial and uniaxial geogrids, HDPE and LLDPE geomembranes, and geocomposite drains — with tensile strength, permittivity, AOS, and interface friction data
| geosynthetic type | product class | notes | polymer | thickness mm max (mm) | thickness mm min (mm) | typical applications | ultimate tensile strength lb ft max (lb/ft) | ultimate tensile strength lb ft min (lb/ft) | ultimate tensile strength lb ft typical (lb/ft) |
