United States14. Summary of Test Method4.1 This standard proposes a test method for performing tension tests

16、on geogrid junctions. The procedure provides twoclamping techniques for the junction to be tested including: Method A in which the clamps firmly grip the ribs transverse to thetest direction on each side of the junction; and, Method B in which the ribs transverse to the test direction are constraine

17、d in a slot,constraining rotation of the junction, while the rib in the test direction passes through the slot without the junction clamp applyingconfinement to the junction. The junction clamping technique is selected for the specific type of geogrid in order to minimizerotation and corresponding p

18、eal of the junction during the test. The rib in the test direction going through the junction is thenclamped at a distance from the junction and the system tensioned until junction (or rib) failure occurs. This forces a tension or shearforce to occur within the junction in the direction of the appli

19、ed load. The junction has no normal pressure on it, i.e., that is, it ishorizontally unconfined.5. Significance and Use5.1 This index test method is to be used to determine the strength of an individual junction in a geogrid product. The test isperformed in isolation, while in service the junction i

20、s typically confined. Thus the results from this test method are not anticipatedto be related to design performance.5.2 The value of junction strength can be used for manufacturing quality control, development of new products, or a generalunderstanding of the in-isolation behavior of a particular ge

21、ogrids junction (for example.,example, in relation to handling duringshipment and placement of the geogrid).5.3 This test method is applicable to geogrid products with essentially symmetrical orthogonal or non-orthogonal ribs, yarns orstraps, that is, geogrids which are composed of ribs, yarns or st

22、raps that are entangled through weaving or knitting, welded, bondedor formed through drawing.6. Apparatus6.1 The test apparatus for this method consists of three parts; the tensile testing machine, the junction clamp and the rib clamp.6.2 Tensile Testing MachineTensile Testing Machine - The testing

23、machine should operate under a constant rate of extension.It should have the capabilities of measuring the tensile force, typically with a load cell having an adequate load capacity to coverthe full range of products to be tested. The test recorder must be able to adequately record the complete forc

24、e-elongation curveduring the test.6.3 Method A: Junction Clamp (Rotation is Unconstrained)Method A: Junction Clamp (Rotation is Unconstrained) - Theclamp assembly which holds the geogrid junction shall be of the same design or equivalent to that shown in Fig. 1. The clamp mustonly confine the horizo

25、ntal rib or adjacent rib(s) transverse to the junction on each side of the junction and not the junction itself.The ribs transverse to the test direction should be placed horizontally level such that torsion is not applied to the junction. Theclamp cannot hinder or influence the junction. The two mo

26、vable parts of the restraining clamp should be adjustable to allow thebearing surfaces to fit snugly without touching the junction of the geogrid product being tested.The clamp assembly should providethe appropriate clamping power to prevent slipping or crushing (damage) of the horizontal rib. The e

27、ntire clamp assembly is tobe placed in the upper portion of the testing machine.NOTE 1These clamps are particularly well suited for homogeneous extruded and woven geogrids with either essentially symmetrical orthogonal ornon-orthogonal ribs and longitudinal ribs concentric with transverse ribs.6.4 M

28、ethod B: Junction Clamp (Rotation is Constrained)Method B: Junction Clamp (Rotation is Constrained) - The clampsaccording to Fig. 32 must only confine the horizontal rib or adjacent rib(s) transverse to the test direction on each side of thejunction and not the junction itself. The clamps should con

29、tinuously support the transverse rib to the test direction such that torsionis not applied. The clamp cannot hinder or influence the junction. The insert clamp shall fit snugly into the opening of therestraining clamp. Fig. 32a is for geogrids with two straps welded together in one junction, Fig. 32

30、b is for geogrids with twohorizontal straps welded to one vertical strap. The screws in Fig. 32a and Fig. 32b are not needed if the insert clamp fits snuglyinto the opening of the restraining clamp. The entire clamp assembly is to be placed in the upper portion of the testing machine.The dimensions

31、of the insert clamp as stated in Fig. 32a and Fig. 32b should be as follows:a - average width of vertical strap mm (readability 0.1 mm) 0.1 mm) + 0.6 mmb - 5 -to 10 mmc - average thickness of junction mm (readability 0.1 mm) 0.1 mm) + 0.2 mmd - average thickness of vertical strap mm (readability 0.1

32、 mm) 0.1 mm) + 0.2 mmThe assembled configuration of these clamps is shown in Fig. 43.NOTE 2These clamps are particularly well suited for welded or strap geogrids with longitudinal ribs not concentric with transverse ribs. They arealso better suited than the unconstrained clamps for various woven and

33、 knit geogrids with transverse elements (that is, ribs or nodes) that tend to rotatewhen tension is applied.6.5 Rib ClampRib Clamp - The lower portion of the vertical rib passing through the clamp assembly is placed in a separateclamp at the base of the testing machine. This is typically the longitu

34、dinal rib of the geogrid test specimen. The clamp must beD7737/D7737M 152sufficiently wide to grip the entire rib and must have the appropriate clamping power to prevent slipping or crushing (damage).The suggested style of clamp is a wedge action type as used for a rib tensile strength test.NOTE 3It

35、 is also possible to reverse the positioning of the test assembly from that described in 6.3 and 6.4Sections 6.3 and 6.4. . In such a case, thejunction clamp would be in the base of the testing machine and the rib clamp in the crosshead adjacent to the load cell.7. Test Specimens7.1 The test specime

36、n shape is unique to the particular geogrid being tested. It generally involves specimens to be cut in theshape of a “T“ with at least one junction remaining on each side of the junction being tested. The direction of the test shall bedefined as a nominal angle (skew to the machine direction), accor

37、ding to Fig. 4, where machine direction (MD) is defined as 0and cross machine direction (CMD) as 90. See Fig. 25 for illustrations of some geogrid test specimens. For woven and knittedgeogrids where nodes may unravel when cut, adjacent ribs can be cut away from the node as shown in Fig. 5Figure 2d d

38、 tominimize the effect of cutting on the structure of the product. Fig. 5e shows the testing arrangement for symmetrical,non-orthogonal ribs. The specimens should be cut to allow for the maximum amount of transverse rib on each side of the junctionto be tested. The center rib shall be long enough (t

39、ypically a minimum of three bars or nodes), so as to allow for enough clampingaction within the rib clamp. The test specimens should be brought to standard test conditions of temperatures 21 6 2C (70706 4F)4F and tested under the same conditions. Relative humidity is not an issue for this test metho

44、s no reliable estimate of v for the userslaboratory, Eq 1 should not be used directly. Instead, there should be ten (10) replicate specimens tested in the direction of concern. This number of specimens is somewhat larger than usually found using a reliable estimate of v. When a reliable estimate of

45、vfor the users laboratory becomes available, Eq 1 will usually require fewer than the fixed number of specimens.8. Procedure8.1 Calibrate and balance the testing system.8.2 Install testing clamps; the junction clamp is typically the upper fixture and the rib clamp is then the lower fixture.8.3 Adjus

46、t the movable parts of the junction clamp to fit as closely to the vertical center rib as possible, without touching it orinfluencing it (that is, within 1 mm of the edge of the junction).8.4 Mount the specimen carefully in the upper clamps, tighten it with sufficient force to prevent slipping or da

48、ould be reversed.8.6 Set the constant rate of extension of the test machine to be 50 mm/min (2 in./min)2 in./min.8.7 Rebalance the test system and initiate the test by starting the testing machine and continue until rupture occurs.
