Geotextiles and geomembranes lose their tensile strength when exposed to solar radiation. The loss of strength depends upon the intensity of radiation, exposure period, mass per unit area of the material. The loss of strength further depends upon the condition under which material is exposed to solar radiation. To assess the extent of degradation, eight test specimens of geotextiles and eight test specimens of geomembranes were exposed to solar radiation under various conditions at Mumbai for one year cycle comprising all seasons. The results of UV degradation of strength are presented in part I. The experimental results of degradation are analyzed with two different approaches and general solution for degradation of strength has been established for life prediction of geotextiles/geomembranes in field. The analyses of results are presented in this part II.
