PD CEN/TS 14418:2014CEN/TS 14418:2014 (E) 4 Introduction This Technical Specification defines a method for testing the influence of freezing-thawing cycles on the flux of clay geosynth

17、etic barriers. Such resistance is a requirement for many uses of these products. The influence ratio is an indication of the behaviour of the product when exposed to repeated freezing and thawing cycles in earth constructions. The flux of saturated clay geosynthetic barriers may increase in conseque

18、nce of repeated freezing-thawing cycles. The Technical Specification does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to comply with any regulations

19、or legislation regardless of the wording in the technical specification. The flux determined using this test method is not considered to be representative of the in-service flux of GBR-Cs. This test determines the influence of freezing-thawing cycles in the absence of any other phenomena, for exampl

20、e cation exchange. PD CEN/TS 14418:2014CEN/TS 14418:2014 (E) 5 1 Scope This Technical Specification describes an index test to determine the influence ratio of freezing-thawing cycles on the flux through saturated clay geosynthetic barriers. This test method is applicable to GBR-C products with no a

24、freezing-thawing cycles to that of the flux through an unexposed reference specimen, expressed in percent 4 Principle The flux through 100 mm diameter clay geosynthetic barrier specimens is determined with a flexible wall permeameter both on specimens exposed to freezing-thawing cycles and on unexpo

25、sed reference specimens. A specimen either square with an edge length not less than 200 mm or circular with a diameter not less than 200 mm to a tolerance of 0,5 % is hydrated under a pressure of (4 0,2) kPa for 48 h at constant room temperature. After hydration, the specimen is stored in the freeze

26、r under a pressure of (4 0,2) kPa at 5 C for 24 h. After the freezing period the specimen is allowed to thaw under a pressure of (4 0,2) kPa at room temperature for 24 h. Then the specimen is hydrated again for 24 h at room temperature. This freezing-thawing cycle is performed four times before cutt

27、ing the test specimen. Eventually the test specimen and the unexposed reference specimen are tested in accordance with EN 16416. 5 Apparatus The apparatus shall consist of the following: a template of known dimensions to a tolerance of 0,5 % either square with an edge length not less than 200 mm or

28、circular with a diameter not less than 200 mm, a waterproof box large enough to accommodate the specimen, PD CEN/TS 14418:2014CEN/TS 14418:2014 (E) 6 a rigid chemically inert pressure plate of the same dimensions as the specimen, and not less than 10 mm thick, sufficient weights to exert a pressure

29、of (4 0,2) kPa on the specimen (allowing for the weight of the pressure plate), a mechanically bonded nonwoven geotextile with a mass per unit area of (250 50) g/m2, a freezer capable to maintain a temperature of (5 2) C. 6 Reagent De-ionized water in accordance with EN ISO 3696, grade 3. 7 Procedur

30、e 7.1 Specimen preparation Inspect the bulk clay geosynthetic barrier specimen to be tested and record any disturbance, irregularity or damage. Choose two representative sections of the specimen for testing, one for the reference specimen and one for the test specimen to be submitted to the freezing

31、-thawing cycles. Place the template on the selected section. Cut the specimens to the exact size of the template with a sharp knife or any other suitable instrument. Remove the specimens carefully to avoid loss of bentonite. The specimen size may be limited by safety restrictions on the total mass o

32、f the weights where these are to be transported manually. Seal the edges of the clay geosynthetic barrier specimens with waterproof tape or self-adhesive aluminium foil to prevent bentonite loss during further handling. 7.2 Specimen hydration Fill a waterproof box with water. Place a piece of mechan

33、ically bonded nonwoven geotextile with a mass per unit area of (250 50) g/m2on the bottom of the box and manually remove any air bubbles. Place the GBR-C sample on the nonwoven and then put a further piece of similar nonwoven geotextile on top of the GBR-C and manually remove any air bubbles. Place

34、a pressure plate on the “sandwich” of specimens. Place weights on the pressure plate to obtain a required pressure of (4 0,2) kPa.

35、ration setup NOTE The use of drainage mats instead of nonwoven geotextile results in unevenness in the surface of GBR-Cs. This could lead to incorrect measurements. Add de-ionized water to the box so that the water level is not above the top of the pressure plate. In order to maintain the GBR-C spec

36、imen submerged, add water at the rate it is absorbed by the GBR-C specimen. Keep the specimen submerged at room temperature selected according to ISO 554 and at a pressure of (4 0,2) kPa. 7.3 Specimen freezing After 48 h, remove the excess water from the box. Preset the freezer to a temperature of (

37、5 2) C prior to placing specimen inside it. Move the box containing the test specimen with the weights and the pressure plate to the freezer. Allow the test specimen to freeze for 24 h. The freezer temperature shall be (5 2) C. 7.4 Specimen thawing After the freezing period allow the specimen to tha

38、w for 24 h at room temperature selected according to ISO 554 without adding any water. Then add water again according to the procedure described in 7.2. Submerge the specimen again for a minimum of 24 h at room temperature selected according to ISO 554 without adding any water unless it can be shown

39、 that omitting this point has no influence on the test result. 7.5 Repetition Repeat steps from 7.2 to 7.4 a further three times. 7.6 Preparation of specimen for flux testing Remove the weights and the nonwoven geotextile pieces and the clay geosynthetic barrier specimen from the box and carefully p

40、lace the specimen on a flat smooth surface. PD CEN/TS 14418:2014CEN/TS 14418:2014 (E) 8 Take a (100 2) mm diameter specimen and perform the test in accordance with EN 16416. Perform the test in accordance with EN 16416 on an unexposed reference specimen. 8 Calculation and expression of results 8.1 R

41、ecording of data The following data shall be recorded for each test: a) the duration of the different conditioning periods (saturation, freezing, thawing); b) the freezer temperature; c) all flux values determined and the corresponding time periods. 8.2 Calculation and expression of results Calculat
