6、combinationof a number of determinations.4. Significance and Use4.1 This practice provides a means by which the purchasercan determine the conformance of geosynthetic properties asapplied to the acceptance or rejection of a material in regardsto a material specification.4.2 This practice has been de
7、veloped with strong emphasison practicality and the realization that all geosynthetics aresubjected to a vigorous quality control program prior toshipping.NOTE 1It is suggested that the user obtain the mean, standarddeviation, and/or the coefficient of variation for given physical/mechanicalproperti
8、es of a product directly from the manufacturer. If this data isunavailable, it is suggested that users of this practice begin to accumulatedata that can be used to estimate product averages and standard deviationsfor each product.NOTE 2The risk to the purchaser of buying out of specificationmaterial
9、s is minimal when conformance requirements are detailed in thepurchase specification and adequate conformance testing is performed. Itis the producers responsibility to perform thorough quality control testingfor all properties requiring certification. The producers risk of rejection isminimal with
10、the performance of this thorough quality control testing.5. Summary of the Test Procedure5.1 Procedure AThis procedure determines the confor-mance of geosynthetic materials properties to acceptable speci-fications values.NOTE 3Conformance testing is done by the purchaser or designatedperson/organiza
11、tion. It is usually done as the geosynthetics are brought tothe project site and justify the payment of the billing (D4354). Typicallytesting is performed on the final product and no components to produce orassemble the final geosynthetic material need to be conformance tested.5.2 This procedure det
12、ermines the conformance of geo-composite geosynthetic material properties to a set of accept-able specification values. Typically multiple individual com-ponents need to be tested together with the final geocompositeproduct to show conformance with the acceptable materialspecification. Since those i
13、ndividual components might ormight not be altered during production/ assembly, samplecollection is typically executed during production/assembly atthe manufacturing facility.6. Procedure A6.1 Divide into lots and select lot and laboratory samples asdirected in Practice D4354.1This practice is under
14、the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D35 on Geosyn-thetics and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D35.01 on MechanicalProperties.Current edition approved July 1, 2011.

17、y individual lot samplingunit does not meet one or more of the acceptable specificationvalues, the lot shall be resampled and tested, except as noted in6.4.3.6.4.1 Any individual lot sampling unit which fails initialtesting shall not be included in the lot for resampling.6.4.2 Disposition of individ
18、ual lot sampling units which failinitial testing shall be agreed upon by purchaser and seller.6.4.3 If all lot sampling units fail initial testing, reject theentire lot without further sampling and testing.6.4.4 The resample size shall be at least that determined in6.1.NOTE 4The larger the number of
19、 samples in a resample, the smallerwill be the consumers risk of accepting an undesirable product.6.5 Pass the lot if the average test values for the individuallot sampling unit from the resample meet the acceptablespecification values.6.6 Fail the lot if the average test values for any individuallo
20、t sampling unit from the resample do not meet one or moreof the acceptable specification values.6.7 Reject any failing lot.6.8 A numerical example of this practice is included inAppendix X1.7.

21、pically for geocomposite samples, the specification willrequire sampling during manufacture, select the units for the lot sampleand potentially the multiple individual components at uniformly spacedtime intervals throughout the production period at the production/ assem-bly facility (Procedure C in
22、D4354).7.2 Test the number of specimens as directed in the appli-cable testing methods.7.3 If all the average test values for the individual lotsampling units meet all the acceptable specification values, theentire lot passes.7.4 If the average test value for any individual lot samplingunit does not
23、 meet one or more of the acceptable specificationvalues, that particular lot sampling unit shall be catalogued as“failed” or non-conforming.NOTE 6Most individualASTM standards describe within the standardprocedure as of how to address “failed” or non-conforming measuredvalues.7.4.1 Any individual lo
24、t sampling unit which fails initialtesting shall be retested for all the methods which did not meetthe acceptable specification values.7.4.2 If the average of both tests for any initially non-conforming methods, confirm that the individual lot samplingunit is non-conforming, then the individual lot
25、sampling unitfailing the acceptable specification value need to be rejected.7.4.3 Individual lot sampling units before and after thefailed individual lot sampling unit or units in the lot will beresampled and retested for all applicable testing methods(“blocking tests”).7.4.4 Finally, the sequence o
26、f non-conforming individual lotsampling units in the lot shall be bounded/delineated bypassing individual lot sampling units (“blocking tests”).NOTE 7It should be noted that if any tests on the individualcomponents of the geocomposite are non-conforming, availability of thoseindividual components fo

29、ING CONFORMANCE TO SPECIFICATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH PROCEDURE AX1.1 AssumptionsThis example assumes the following:X1.1.1 A geotextile is to be tested against a specificationthat requires a minimum of trapezoid tear strength of 356 N (80lbf).X1.1.2 For this example, the lot consists of 300 rolls.Prac
30、tice D4354, Procedure C requires two lot sampling unitsper lot for lots of 201 to 500 rolls. The 300 rolls in the lot wereassigned numbers and the five rolls to be used as lot samplingunits were selected using a table of random numbers.X1.1.3 Test Method D4533 specifies there will be onelaboratory s

EXAMPLE OF DETERMINING CONFORMANCE TO SPECIFICATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH PROCEDURE BX2.1 Assumptions This example assumes the following:X2.1.1 A geonet geocomposite is to be tested
37、 against aspecification that requires all the methods as identified inD7273. Specifically the upper and lower geotextile used tomanufacture the geonet geocomposite requires a minimum oftrapezoid tear strength of 356 N (80 lbf) in machine and crossmachine direction.X2.1.2 For this example, the lot co
38、nsists of 175 rolls.Practice D4354, Procedure C requires one lot sampling unitsper lot for lots of 1 to 200 rolls. However, the materialspecification required sampling during manufacture at a fre-quency of every 35 rolls; the units for the lot sample wereselected at uniformly spaced time intervals t
39、hroughout theproduction period. Each individual sample unit consisted of a3 ft by roll width of geonet, upper and lower geotextile andlaminated geonet geocomposite. The 175 geonet geocompositerolls in the lot were assigned sequentiallylabeled numbers andthe six rolls to be used as lot sampling units
40、 were roll numbers1, 35, 70, 105, 140, and 175.X2.1.3 Test Method D4533 specifies there will be onelaboratory sampling unit taken from each lot sampling unit andrequires five test specimens per laboratory sampling unit ineach direction (see X1.1.3).X2.2 Data for Initial Sample SetThe average test da

Lot Sampling Unit 105 failed in the machinedirection.X2.3 RetestingSince lot sampling unit 105 does not meetthe specification requirement, the lot sampling unit 105 wasretested.X2.4 Data for Retesting Lot Sampling
42、 Unit 105The dataare given in Table X2.2. The average test data for lots samplingunits 105 is 66.25 lbf. The individual lot sampling unit 105 wasrejected.X2.5 Bounding Lot Sampling Unit 105 Purchaser andseller check availability of samples. Lot Sampling Unit 100 isavailable with individual component
43、s. No individual compo-nents are available to upper bound Lot Sampling Unit 105,only Lot Unit Sample 140 was available.X2.6 Data for Retesting Lot Sampling Unit 100The dataare given in Table X2.3. That individual lot sampling unit 100was accepted since it was passing the specification require-ment.X
