3、nsilemethod. This test method is applicable to most geotextiles that include woven fabrics, nonwoven fabrics, layered fabrics, knitfabrics, and felts that are used for geotextile application.1.2 This test method covers the measurement of tensile strength and elongation of geotextiles and includes di
4、rections for thecalculation of initial modulus, offset modulus, secant modulus, and breaking toughness.1.3 Procedures for measuring the tensile properties of both conditioned and wet geotextiles by the wide-width strip method areincluded.1.4 The basic distinction between this test method and other m
5、ethods for measuring strip tensile properties is the width of thespecimen. Some fabrics used in geotextile applications have a tendency to contract (neck down) under a force in the gage lengtharea. The greater width of the specimen specified in this test method minimizes the contraction effect of th

40、 D4439.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Arelatively wide specimen is gripped across its entire width in the clamps of a constant rate of extension (CRE) type tensiletesting machine operated at a prescribed rate of extension, applying a longitudinal force to the specimen until the specimenruptures. Tensi
41、le strength, elongation, initial and secant modulus, and breaking toughness of the test specimen can be calculatedfrom machine scales, dials, recording charts, or an interfaced computer.5. Significance and Use5.1 The determination of the wide-width strip force elongationforce-elongation properties o
42、f geotextiles provides designparameters for reinforcement type applications, for example design of reinforced embankments over soft subgrades, reinforced soilretaining walls, and reinforcement of slopes. When strength is not necessarily a design consideration, an alternative test methodmay be used f
43、or acceptance testing. Test Method D4595 for the determination of the wide-width strip tensile properties ofgeotextiles may be used for the acceptance testing of commercial shipments of geotextiles, but caution is advised since informationabout between-laboratory precision is incomplete (Note 6). Co
44、mparative tests as directed in 5.1.1 may be advisable.5.1.1 In cases of a dispute arising from differences in reported test results when using Test Method D4595 for acceptance testingof commercial shipments, the purchaser and the supplier should conduct comparative tests to determine if there is a s
45、tatistical biasbetween their laboratories. Competent statistical assistance is recommended for the investigation of bias.AsAt a minimum, the twoD4595 173parties should take a group of test specimens which are as homogeneous as possible and which are from a lot of material of thetype in question. The
46、 test specimens should then be randomly assigned in equal numbers to each laboratory for testing. The averageresults from the two laboratories should be compared using Students t-test for unpaired data and an acceptable probability levelchosen by the two parties before the testing began. If a bias i
47、s found, either its cause must be found and corrected or the purchaserand the supplier must agree to interpret future test results in the light of the known bias.5.2 Most geotextiles can be tested by this test method. Some modification of clamping techniques may be necessary for a givengeotextile de
48、pending upon its structure. Special clamping adaptions may be necessary with strong geotextiles or geotextiles madefrom glass fibers to prevent them from slipping in the clamps or being damaged as a result of being gripped in the clamps.Specimen clamping may be modified as required at the discretion
49、 of the individual laboratory providinglaboratory, provided arepresentative tensile strength is obtained. In any event, the procedure described in Section 10 of this test method for obtainingwide-width strip tensile strength must be maintained.5.3 This test method is applicable for testing geotextiles either dry or wet. It is used with a constant rate of extension typeextension-type tension apparatus.5.4 The use of tensile strength test methods that restrict the clamped width dimension to 50
