Geotextiles and technical fabrics need specific mechanical tests to check their strength, durability, and suitability for civil engineering applications. These evaluations include tensile and tear testing for woven and non-woven fabrics, as well as tensile and burst testing for geotextiles.

Tensile and tear tests help determine a fabric’s load-bearing capacity and resistance to propagation of damage. Tensile and bursting tests for geotextiles assess how the material performs under stretching and compressive forces, ensuring it can withstand the demands of ground reinforcement, drainage, filtration, and other geotechnical uses.
