L. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the tensile
strength properties of geogrids by subjecting strips of varying
width fo tensile loading,
1.2 ‘Three alternative procedures are provided to determine
the tensile strength, 2s follows:
1.2.1 Method A—Testing a single geogrid rib in tension (N.
or tb.
1.2.2 Method B—Testing multiple geogrid ribs in tension
(aN or Iz).
1.2.3 Method C—Testing multiple layers of multiple geo-
arid ribs in tension (kN/m or Ibf/t)
1.3 This test method is intended for quality control and
conformance testing of geogrids.
1.4 The values stated in ST units are to be regarded as the
standard. The inch-pound values stated in parentheses are
provided for information only.
15 This swndard may involve hazardous materials, opera
ions, and equipment. This standard does nov purport to
faddress all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its
use, It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety and health practices and deter
‘mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior t0 use
