Introduction Geosynthetics are polymeric materials used in the construction of many civil engineering structures, such as waste landfills, roads, railways, tunnels, dikes or reservoirs.
Yet, this type of degradation must be taken into account in polymeric materials applied in civil engineering structures (where, in many cases, the materials have to perform their functions for several years).
