While there exist many types of mechanical tests for use on geosynthetics, most seem to be more suitable for one type of system or another. This paper focuses on a test which may have widespread applicability to assess the strength of all types of geosynthetics. It is the forcing of a 50-mm (2.0-in.) diameter plunger through a horizontally fixed geosynthetic of 150-mm (6.0-in.) diameter. Such dimensions are common to the California bearing ratio (CBR) test apparatus used in assessing soil strength for road subgrades. In actuality, the test is not a puncture test, but is an axisymmetric strength test and should be considered as such. The unsupported geosynthetic is indeed in a state of tension. The stress conditions are well defined, which allow for stress and strain to be calculated and compared to the actual value as obtained in a plane strain (wide width) tension test.
