1.1 This method is used to measure the adhesion strength (180 degree peel) between plies of reinforced geomembranes such as internally-reinforced geomembranes and coated fab-rics.
1.2 This method is not intended for determining the strength of geomembrane seams or for determining the ply adhesion strength of geocomposite components (such as nonwoven geotextile bonded to geomembrane, or geotextile bonded to drainage core).
