1.1This test method covers the determination of the tensile strength properties of geogrids by subjecting strips of varying width to tensile loading.

1.2Three alternative procedures are provided to determine the tensile strength, as follows:

1.2.1Method A-Testing a single geogrid rib in tension (N or lbf).

1.2.2Method B-Testing multiple geogrid ribs in tension (kN/m or lbf/ft).

1.2.3Method C-Testing multiple layers of multiple geogrid ribs in tension (kN/m or lbf/ft).

1.3This test method is intended for quality control and conformance testing of geogrids.

1.4The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system are not necessarily exact equivalents; therefore, to ensure conformance with the standard, each system shall be used independently of the other, and values from the two systems shall not be combined.

1.5This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.6This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
