1、Designation: D 5617 04Standard Test Method forMulti-Axial Tension Test for Geosynthetics1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 5617; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A numbe

2、r in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the measurement of the out-of-plane response of geosynthetics to a force that is appliedperpendicular to the initia

3、l plane of the sample.1.2 When the geosynthetic deforms to a prescribed geomet-ric shape (arc of a sphere or ellipsoid) formulations areprovided to convert the test data to biaxial tensile stress-strainvalues. These formulations cannot be used for other geometricshapes. With other geometric shapes,

4、comparative data ondeformation versus pressure is obtained.1.3 This test method is more commonly used to testgeomembranes. Permeable materials may also be tested inconjunction with an impermeable material.1.4 This test method requires a large diameter pressurevessel (600 mm). Information obtained fr

5、om this test methodmay be more appropriate for design purposes than many smallscale index tests such as Test Method D 6693 or Test MethodD 7003.1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The inch-pound units given in parentheses are forinformation only.1.6 This standard doe

Pressure is appliedto the sample to cause out-of-plane deformation and failure.This deformation with pressure informatio

Significance and Use5.1 Installed geosynthetics are subjected to forces frommore than one direction including forces perpendicular to thesurfaces of the geosynthetic. Out of plane deformation of ageosynthetic may be useful in evaluating material

12、mance test.NOTE 1Although, this test specifies a vessel size of 600 mm, largerdiameter vessels will better approximate field performance. However, theuser is cautioned that different size vessels may yield different results andhence may not be comparable.5.4 For applications where geosynthetics cann

13、ot be de-formed in the fashion this test method prescribes, this testmethod should be considered an index test.5.5 Due to the time involved to perform this test method, itis not considered practical as a quality control test.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D35 onGeosynt

16、ws an example of the test apparatus that can beused in the performance of this test method. The apparatusrequires a pressure vessel rated to a minimum of 690 kPa (100psi). The vessel diameter should be 600 mm3. Other sizevessels may be used but it is up to the user to establishcorrelation to the sta

17、ndard size vessel.6.2 If the vessel has a deflection chamber it should notinhibit the geosynthetic from freely deflecting during the test.The deflection chamber shall be vented.6.2.1 Some materials will expand laterally beyond thediameter of the pressure vessel and may contact the sides of thedeflec

18、tion chamber. In these cases, the test is no longer validand a different device must be used. Devices without deflectionchambers have worked well in these situations.6.3 The vessel will have a system to measure pressure andthe magnitude of central deflection.6.3.1 The system for measuring deflection

19、 shall be capableof being read to an accuracy of 5 mm.6.3.2 The system for measuring pressure shall be capable ofbeing read to an accuracy of 3.5 kPa.6.4 All test shall be conducted at standard laboratory tem-peratures of 23 6 2C.7. Test Specimen7.1 Do not use test specimens with defects or any othe

20、rabnormalities, unless this is the item of interest.7.2 Cut the test specimen larger than the area of the mainsealing force of the vessel.7.3 If a permeable material such as a geotextile is beingtested, an impermeable material such as a geomembrane or thinplastic sheet has to overlay the permeable m

21、aterial to maintainthe pressure in the vessel during the test.7.3.1 When testing permeable materials, the impermeablematerial shall be more elastic than the permeable material(unless the combination of the two materials is the desired testvariable). This is required so that the permeable material fa

22、ilsfirst.7.3.2 Test results on permeable materials will be affected bythe impermeable material used in the test.7.4 Test three replicate specimens on each sample unlessotherwise noted.8. Procedure8.1 Cut the test specimen to the requirements of the testvessel to ensure a good seal. Place specimen ac

23、ross the openingof the vessel. Be sure the specimen is not sagging.8.2 Be sure the specimen remains flat while the edge of thespecimen is being securely clamped into place.8.3 Either air or water can be used to pressureize the vessel.If a water system is used, introduce water into the vessel untilit

24、 is completely filled.8.4 Add water or air into the system so as to control the rateof centerpoint deflection at 20 mm/min in a continuous fashion.8.4.1 Stepwise increments of center point deflection are notallowed.8.5 Record the amount of centerpoint deflection and pres-sure at least every 10 s.8.6

25、 Continue with the test by maintaining a constant rate ofcenterpoint deflection at the specified rate until the specimenhas ruptured (as noted by a sudden loss in pressure) or untilsome predetermined end point has been reached.NOTE 2The user is cautioned that the sudden release of pressure atrupture

26、 could potentially be dangerous and cause either personal injury ordamage to the surroundings.8.7 Repeat the above with two additional specimens fromthe same sample.NOTE 3If the specimen has deformed in a fashion so that the surfaceof the specimen approximates an arc of a sphere or an ellipsoid,stre
