Application of Xenon Lamp Aging Test on Geosynthetics

With the continuous development of civil engineering and construction industries, geosynthetics are increasingly used in various fields. However, owing to environmental factors, the performance of geosynthetics may gradually decline, thus affecting their service life. In order to ensure the stability and safety of geosynthetic materials in engineering, it is crucial to conduct regular aging tests. Generally speaking, aging tests can be divided into natural aging and artificial accelerated aging tests. The natural aging test is extremely simple to operate and very low-cost, but it requires a lot of time to conduct the test. However, the application of geosynthetics in engineering may last for hundreds of years, and it is impossible to achieve this aging process through natural aging methods. The xenon lamp aging test equipment can imitate the full spectrum distribution found in sunlight. Additionally, by simulating solar radiation and other environmental factors, it can hasten the...
