ASTM D35/GRI-23 Workshop on Geosynthetic Durability

November 2, 2009 | Compiled and edited by Ron Bygness, editor of Geosynthetics magazine

ASTM Committee D35 on Geosynthetics meets Jan. 27-29 in San Antonio. In addition to the D35 sessions Jan. 27-28, the gathering will include the GRI-23 Conference—a Geosynthetic Research Institute/D35 joint workshop on durability Friday, Jan. 29.
