Page 125 - The allowable geosynthetic strain is the lesser of the maximum design strain for the considered geosynthetic and the strain beyond which the soil layer would be unacceptably deformed or cracked. The allowable geosynthetic deflection is considered when excessive deflection of the soil surface impairs the serviceability of the system.
