The mechanical strength of HDPE geomembranes double wedge seams is usually determined by destructive tests: peel test and shear test. The seam’s conformity/non conformity decision is based on these tests results. In this paper it is shown the influence of the test temperature on the destructive tests results and its consequences on the seam acceptation/rejection decision.
