TRI performs compression testing to measure normal-to-the-plane deformations of geosynthetic:
- Drains and/or liner systems
- Short and long term compressive strength of geosynthetic drains
- Short and long term compressive strength of geosynthetic liner systems
- Strain (deformation) measurements within liner systems
- Compression creep via conventional accelerated time temperature superposition (TTS)
- Compression creep via TRI developed Stepped Isothermal Method (SIM) testing
