ASTM D 5617 Document Information:
Title
Standard Test Method for Multi-Axial Tension Test for Geosynthetics
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Jun 1, 2004
Scope:
This test method covers the measurement of the out-of-plane response
of geosynthetics to a force
that is applied perpendicular to the initial plane of the sample.
When the geosynthetic deforms to a prescribed geometric shape (arc of
a sphere or ellipsoid)
formulations are provided to convert the test data to biaxial tensile
stress-strain values. These
formulations cannot be used for other geometric shapes. With other
geometric shapes, comparative
data on deformation versus pressure is obtained.
This test method is more commonly used to test geomembranes. Permeable
materials may also be tested
in conjunction with an impermeable material.
This test method requires a large diameter pressure vessel (600 mm).
Information obtained from this
test method may be more appropriate for design purposes than many
small scale index tests such as
Test Method D 6693 or Test Method D 7003.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The
inch-pound units given in
parentheses are for information only.
This 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 and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
