Few research about puncture resistance of geotextiles applied at waste disposal sites has been reported. We haveconducted the puncture tests of some geotextiles such as waterproof geomembranes and nonwoven fabrics, andtheir puncture resistance was characterized. Especially, we found experimentally that the breaking performance ofgeomembrane was improved by sandwiching two nonwoven fabrics.
We also showed the new experimental and analytical methodologies about puncture test.
