Abstract
Standardization of any engineering material is essential for ensuring its wide-scale use. Based on more than 260 field applications with Jute Geotextiles (JGT) in India in different areas, several Indian standards on JGT have come out. This is a step toward securing global accreditation of the product for different successful applications with JGT. For securing any standard, what is needed is replication of success in the field under a set of conditions and corroboration of findings in the laboratory with field results.
The chapter deals with all the relevant aspects of standardization of JGT including standards that have been published so far in India, tests methods followed in the laboratory—physical, hydraulic, mechanical, and endurance properties of JGT to be tested with passing reference to European and International Standards for man-made geotextiles.
