2、he year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval. A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1NOTEUnits information was editorially corrected in February 2015.1. Scope1.1 The test method establishes the procedure

3、s for themeasurement of tensile strength of Geosynthetic Clay Liner(GCL). This test method is strictly an index test method to beused to verify the tensile strength of GCLs. Results from thistest method should not be considered as an indication of actualor long-term performance of the geosynthetic(s

4、) in fieldapplications.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result

5、in non-conformancewith the standard.1.3 This standard may involve hazardous materials,operations, and equipment. This standard does not purport toaddress all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with itsuse. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard toestablish appropriate safety a

9、this test method,refer to Terminologies D123 and D4439.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 A 100 mm 4-in. wide specimen is gripped across itsentire width in the clamps of a constant rate of extension (CRE)type tensile testing machine operated at a prescribed rate ofextension, applying a longitudinal force

10、to the specimen untilthe specimen ruptures.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method may be used for the acceptance testingof commercial shipments of GCLs but caution is advised sinceinformation about between-laboratory precision is incomplete.Comparative tests as directed in 5.1.1 may be advisabl

11、e.5.1.1 In cases of a dispute arising from differences inreported test results when using this test method for acceptanceof shipments, the purchaser and the supplier should conductcomparative tests to determine if there is a statistical bias. Thetwo parties should take a group of test samples that a

12、re ashomogeneous as possible and which are from the lot ofmaterial in question.5.2 Some modification of clamping techniques may benecessary for a given GCL depending upon its structure.Specimen clamping may be modified as required at thediscretion of the individual laboratory providing a representa-

13、tive tensile strength is obtained. In any event, the proceduredescribed in Section 10 of this test method for obtaining tensilestrength must be maintained.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D35 onGeosynthetics and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D35.04 on Geos

16、Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959. United States15.3 This test method is applicable for testing GCLs asreceived. It is used with a constant rate of extension typetension apparatus.6. Apparatus6.1 Tensile Testing Machine, a constant rate of extension(CRE) type of testing machine described in SpecificationD

17、76/D76M shall be used with a minimum precision measuringcapability of 0.1 N/m 5.71 10-4lbf/in.6.2 Clamps, the clamps shall be a minimum 25 by 100 mm1 by 4 in. and with appropriate clamping power to preventslipping or crushing (damage).6.3 Die or Template, 100 by 200 mm (61 mm) 4 by 8 in.(60.04 in.).

18、6.4 Miscellaneous, knives, razor, etc, as required.7. Sampling and Test Specimens7.1 Lot SampleFor the lot sample, take rolls of GCLs asdirected in an applicable material specification, PracticeD5889, or as agreed upon between the purchaser and thesupplier.7.2 Laboratory SampleFor the laboratory sam

19、ple, sampleshall be taken in accordance with Practice D6072/D6072M.The sample received at the testing laboratory should be insatisfactory condition and representative of the product manu-factured or delivered to a site, or both.7.3 Test SpecimensA minimum of five test specimensshall be taken in the

20、machine direction from each swatch in thelaboratory sample. Take specimens from the laboratory sample,with those for the measurement of the machine direction tensileproperties from different positions across the GCL width. Nospecimens shall be taken within 10 cm 4 in. of the selvage oredge of the GC

22、sing the die, or template and razor,and other necessary apparatus, carefully cut from the labora-tory sample five (5) test specimens. The five specimens shouldbe randomly selected from locations on the sample, but shouldbe distributed across the sample. All specimens should be cutparallel to the mac

Calculation10.1 Tensile StrengthCalculate the tensile strength as readdirectly from the test instrument expressed in N/m lbf/in. ofwidth, using the following equation:fn5f11f211f5!5 5fnWswhere:fn= average recorded peak tensile strength

27、for specimen, Nlbf, = tensile strength of the GCL, N/m lbf/in., andWs= specified specimen width, m in.11.

Precision and Bias12.1 Interlaboratory Test ProgramAn interlaboratorystudy of the test method was run in 2002/2003. Four differentgeosynthetic clay liner samples were distribut

31、ed to ten labora-tories. Three sets of test results were generated for each sampleby each of the laboratories.12.2 Test ResultsThe precision information is given inTable 1. The results are presented for the average of thecoefficient of variation, CV%, for the four samples.D6768/D6768M 04 (2015)1212.

32、3 BiasThe procedure in Test Method D6768/D6768 formeasuring the tensile strength of the geosynthetic clay liner hasno bias because the value of the tensile strength of a geosyn-thetic clay liner is defined only in the terms of this test method.13.
