Committee D35 Geosynthetics Formed in 1984, ASTM Committee D35 develops standard test methods, specifications, guides, practices and terminology dealing with geosynthetics. These international standards address things like geotextiles, geogrids, drainage nets, drainage composites, geosynthetic clay liners, geosynthetic erosion control products and sediment retention devices, geosynthetic strips, geofoam and geomembranes. Helping our world work better Over 12,000 ASTM standards operate globally. Defined and set by us, they improve the lives of millions every day. Combined with our innovative business services, they enhance performance and help everyone have confidence in the things they buy and use – from the toy in a child’s hand to the aircraft overhead. Working across borders, disciplines, and industries we harness the expertise of over 30,000 members to create consensus and improve performance in manufacturing and materials, products and processes, systems and services.

Committee D35 Geosynthetics
Formed in 1984, ASTM Committee D35 develops standard test methods, specifications, guides, practices and terminology dealing with geosynthetics. These international standards address things like geotextiles, geogrids, drainage nets, drainage composites, geosynthetic clay liners, geosynthetic erosion control products and sediment retention devices, geosynthetic strips, geofoam and geomembranes.
Helping our world work betterOver 12,000 ASTM standards operate globally. Defined and set by us, they improve the lives of millions every day.
Combined with our innovative business services, they enhance performance and help everyone have confidence in the things they buy and use – from the toy in a child’s hand to the aircraft overhead.
Working across borders, disciplines, and industries we harness the expertise of over 30,000 members to create consensus and improve performance in manufacturing and materials, products and processes, systems and services.

How You Can Contribute to Geosynthetics Standardization
Membership in Committee D35The committee welcomes all technical experts with a desire to work toward further development of geosynthetics standardization. Meetings are held twice a year, in January and June. Standards development work continues all year long through electronic tools and virtual meetings.
Just a few of the benefits you will receive when you join ASTM:
ͽ Network with other professionals worldwide;
ͽ Have direct input into the development of new and revised standards;
ͽ Participate in informational webinars;
ͽ Receive a free volume of the Annual Book of ASTM Standards;
ͽ Enjoy discounts on all ASTM publications;
ͽ Receive free subscriptions to ASTM Standardization News and ASTM eNews; and
ͽ Benefit from reduced attendance fees at ASTM symposia and technical workshops.
The annual fee to be an informational or participating member of ASTM International is $75 USD. Annual membership provides access to multiple technical committees at no additional cost.
D35 Subcommittees and StandardsA sampling of D35’s subcommittees and some key standards are listed below.
The work of Committee D35 is coordinated with other related ASTM committees, such as D13 on Textiles, D18 on Soil and Rock and D34 on Waste Management. A diverse membership of nearly 350 technical experts from 27 countries comprise the 10 subcommittees that are a part of D35. These subcommittees oversee more than 145 geosynthetics standards published annually by ASTM.
