This document specifies a method to determine the resistance of geosynthetics to dynamic penetration by a steel cone dropped from a fixed height.The method is generally applicable to geosynthetics. However, the applicability of this test for some types of products (such as e.g. GGR,GCE, GST,GBR) should be considered carefully .

ISO 13433:2006 specifies a method to determine the resistance of geosynthetics to penetration by a steel cone dropped from a fixed height. The degree of penetration is an indication of the behaviour of the geosynthetic when sharp stones are dropped on its surface. The method is generally applicable to geosynthetics. However, the validity of this test for some types of products should be considered carefully, as the test principle may not be applicable.
The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
