BS EN ISO 12236:1996 is a standard that pertains to geosynthetics and specifically addresses the static puncture test, which is also known as the CBR (California Bearing Ratio) test. This standard provides guidelines and procedures for conducting the CBR test on geosynthetic materials. Here's an overview of this standard:
The scope of BS EN ISO 12236:1996 is to establish a method for conducting the static puncture test, or CBR test, on geosynthetic materials. Geosynthetics are synthetic materials used in various civil engineering and construction applications to improve soil stability, drainage, and other geotechnical properties.
Purpose: The primary purpose of this standard is to provide a standardized procedure for assessing the puncture resistance and strength characteristics of geosynthetic materials. The CBR test is a widely used method to evaluate the mechanical properties of these materials, which are essential for designing and specifying their use in geotechnical applications.
