Title: DURABILITY STUDY OF TYPAR 3401 TWENTY YEARS AFTER INSTALLATION: THE SMYRNA ROAD PROJECT
Accession Number: 00667719
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: In 1972 a test section was initiated as part of an evaluation of the newly emerging geotextile industry. The purpose was to determine which of the family of spunbonded products best fit the end use, performing the required functions. Several materials were installed and evaluated in different locations. One location still in operation is Smyrna, Delaware. In June 1992 this original site was located and samples were exhumed. Installation conditions, field performance, and current status are reviewed for this test section, one of the oldest accessible geotextile separation applications in this country. Through evaluation of physical properties, the geotextile's survivability and durability are evaluated and compared with what is experienced today. Electron microscope results are compared, and the evolution of ultraviolet stabilizers is highlighted. Results show property retention after this extended period.
