COMPRESSION

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
