tes.
Magri GX geogris are manufactured fram high tenacity, igh molecular weight polyester yarns encased in polymeric caaing providing the googrd
withhighesistance agains installation damage.
The objective of the tests undertaken was to determine the reduction factor tobe applied to Miragid GX geogrds, with regard toloss of tensile
strength due tomechanical damage of thereinforcement when compacted against various soltypes during installation
