The five specimensshould be randomly selected from locations on the sample, butshould be distributed across the sample. All specimens shouldbe cut parallel to the machine direction. Us
16、ing a knife or razor,separate the top and bottom layer of the GCL for the first 50 63mm(26 0.1 in.).9.2 Machine Set-Up ConditionsAdjust the distance be-tween the clamps at the start of the test to 50 6 3mm(26 0.1in.). Set the CRE at 300 mm/min. (12 in./min.).9.3 Insertion of Specimen in ClampsMount
17、the specimencentrally in the clamps. The specimen must be visuallyobserved above the clamp. The specimen length in the machinedirection must be parallel to the direction of application offorce.9.4 Measurement of Bonding Peel StrengthStart the ten-sile testing machine. This is considered the start of
18、 the peel testand represents zero grip separation. Take readings of force andtime starting from 50 mm (2 in.) of grip separation until 250mm (10 in.) of grip separation. The average recorded peelingforce of the GCL over 200 mm (8 in.) of grip separation isrequired and will signify a complete test of
19、 the specimen. (SeeFig. 1).NOTE 1If significant elongation of the geotextile continues after 50mm (2 in.) additional grip peeling of the GCL, the recording intervalshould be adjusted. The recording interval should correspond to 200 mm(8 in.) of grip separation during the peeling of the GCL.9.4.1 Rea
20、dings of force and time shall be taken at aminimum rate of 20 readings per second.9.4.2 If a specimen slips in the jaws, or if for any reasonattributable to faulty operation the results fall significantlybelow the average for the set of specimens, discard the resultsand test another specimen.

Precision and Bias12.1 Inter-Laboratory Test ProgramAn inter-laboratorystudy of this test method was run in 2002/2003. Four differentgeosynthetic clay liner samples were di
27、stributed 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.12.3 BiasThe proced
28、ure in this test method for measuringthe bonding peel strength of the geosynthetic clay liner has nobias because the values of the bonding peel strength can bedefined in the terms of this test method.13.
