New Practice for Tests to Evaluate the Chemical Resistance of Geocells to Liquids
1. Scope
1.1 This practice covers the procedures for testing geocell products for chemical resistance with liquid wastes, prepared chemical solutions, and leachates derived from solid wastes 1.2 This practice describes methods for measuring changes in physical and mechanical properties caused by immersion in test solutions that may be representative of anticipated end use conditions. This practice may be used to assess the extent to which a product's as manufactured properties are affected by such immersion.Keywords

Geocells are used in a variety of different applications, including but not limited to: geomembrane protection, environmental capping, slope stability, erosion control, retaining walls, channel protection, pavement load support, and subgrade improvement. Depending on site conditions, geocells may be exposed to liquid waste, groundwater, leachate, or environmental contaminants during their design life. However, there currently is no standard practice for evaluating the chemical resistance of geocells to liquids. This practice is for the chemical resistance assessment of geocells and is written to be consistent with, and in parallel to, similar practices for geomembranes, geogrids, geonets, and geotextiles.
