This document specifies a method for determining the resistance of geotextiles and geotextile-related products to pullout from soil using a laboratory pullout box. The goal of the procedure is to provide data relating to the development of friction on materials used primarily for soil reinforcement.
The test method described is a performance test procedure to determine the fitness for use of geotextiles and geotextile-related products intended to be used in a given application.
