Designation:D581922Standard Guide forSelecting Test Methods for Experimental Evaluation ofGeosynthetic Durability1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5819;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This guide covers a designer/specifier through a system-atic determination of those factors of the appropriate applica-tion environment that may affect the post-construction servicelife of a geosynthetic.Subsequently,test methods are recom-mended to facilitate an experimental evaluation of the durabil-ity of geosynthetics in a specified environment so that thedurability can be considered in the design process.1.2 This guide is not intended to address durability issuesassociated with the manufacturing,handling,transportation,orinstallation environments.1.3 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D1204 Test Method for Linear Dimensional Changes ofNonrigid Thermoplastic Sheeting or Film at ElevatedTemperatureD1987 Test Method for Biological Clogging of Geotextile orSoil/Geotextile FiltersD2990 Test Methods for Tensile,Compressive,and FlexuralCreep and Creep-Rupture of PlasticsD4355/D4355M Test Method for Deterioration of Geotex-tiles by Exposure to Light,Moisture,and Heat in a XenonArc-Type ApparatusD4439 Terminology for GeosyntheticsD4594/D4594M Test Method for Effects of Temperature onStability of GeotextilesD4716/D4716M Test Method for Determining the(In-plane)Flow Rate per Unit Width and Hydraulic Transmissivityof a Geosynthetic Using a Constant HeadD4833/D4833M Test Method for Index Puncture Resistanceof Geomembranes and Related ProductsD4886 Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of Geotextiles(Sandpaper/Sliding Block Method)D5101 Test Method for Measuring the Filtration Compat-ibility of Soil-Geotextile SystemsD5262 Test Method for Determining the Unconfined Ten-sion Creep and Creep Rupture Behavior of Planar Geo-synthetics Used for Reinforcement PurposesD5322 Practice for Laboratory Immersion Procedures forEvaluating the Chemical Resistance of Geosynthetics toLiquidsD5397 Test Method for Evaluation of Stress Crack Resis-tance of Polyolefin Geomembranes Using Notched Con-stant Tensile Load TestD5496 Practice for In-Field Immersion Testing of Geosyn-theticsD5567 Test Method for Hydraulic Conductivity Ratio(HCR)Testing of Soil/Geotextile SystemsD5721 Practice for Air-Oven Aging of Polyolefin Geomem-branesD5970/D5970M Test Method for Deterioration of Geotex-tiles from Outdoor ExposureD6992 Test Method for Accelerated Tensile Creep andCreep-Rupture of Geosynthetic Materials Based on Time-Temperature Superposition Using the Stepped IsothermalMethodD7238 Test Method for Effect of Exposure of UnreinforcedPolyolefin Geomembrane Using Fluorescent UV Conden-sation ApparatusD7361 Test Method for Accelerated Compressive Creep ofGeosynthetic Materials Based on Time-Temperature Su-perposition Using the Stepped Isothermal MethodD7406 Test Method for Time-Dependent Compressive De-formation Under Constant Pressure for GeosyntheticDrainage ProductsG160 Practice for Evaluating Microbial Susceptibility ofNonmetallic Materials By Laboratory Soil Burial1This guide is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee D35 on Geosyntheticsand is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D35.02 on Endurance Properties.Current edition approved May 1,2022.Published May 2022.Originallyapproved in 1995.Last previous edition approved in 2021 as D5819 21.DOI:10.1520/D5819-22.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.13.Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 For definitions relating to geosynthetics used in thisstandard,refer to Terminology D4439.4.Summary of Guide4.1 The effects of a given application environment on thedurability of a geosynthetic must be determined throughappropriate testing.Selection of appropriate tests requires asystematic determination of the primary
