Summary of Method5.1 A spec

11、imen of the TRM is slid in a direction parallel toits long dimension, so that its end projects from the edge of ahorizontal surface. The length of overhang is measured whenthe tip of the test specimen is depressed under its own weightto the point where the line joining the tip to the edge of theplat

12、form makes an angle of 41.5 with the horizontal. One halfof this length is the bending length of the specimen. The cubeof this quantity multiplied by the weight per unit area of thegeosynthetic is the flexural rigidity.5.2 This test method is known also as the Single CantileverTest.6. Apparatus6.1 S

18、t is a temperature of 21 6 2C (70 6 4F) andrelative humidity of 60 6 10 %.8. Selection and Preparation of Specimens8.1 Cut test specimens 4 by 18 in. (101.6 by 457.2 mm). Cutfour specimens with the long direction parallel to the machinedirection and four with the long direction parallel to thetransv

19、erse (or cross-machine) direction. If the geosynthetic isnot uniform or a higher degree of precision is required, moremay be tested. Vary cutting the specimens in such a way thatthe machine direction specimens do not contain the samemachine direction yarns/filaments for the machine directiontests an

20、d cut the cross-machine direction specimens so thatseparate cross-machine direction yarns/filaments are containedin each. Avoid selvages, end pieces, and creased or foldedplaces, and handle the specimens as little as possible.NOTE 1Some TRMs are constructed from several component mate-rials and samp

21、le preparation must be performed in such a way as tomaintain the structural integrity of the product. Procedures found to besuccessful for cutting test specimens from TRMs include the use of hotknives to seal the edges and the use of bags and slip covers to keep allcomponents together during sample

22、preparation. The method of cuttingthe specimen should be included in the report.9. Procedure9.1 Make tests on conditioned specimens in the standardatmosphere for testing.9.2 Set the tester on a table or bench so that the horizontalplatform and inclined reference lines are at eye level. Adjustthe pla

23、tform so that it is horizontal as indicated by the levelingbubble.9.3 Place a specimen on the platform with the weight on topof it so that the leading edges coincide. Holding weight in ahorizontal plane, slide the specimen and weight slowly andsteadily until the leading edges project beyond the edge

24、 of theplatform. With the eye in a position so that the two inclinedlines of the tendency to twist, take the reference point at thecenter of the leading edge. Do not measure specimens thattwist more than 45. Read the length of overhang from thescale to the nearest 1 mm.9.4 Take four readings from ea

25、ch specimen, with each sideup, first at one end and then the other.9.5 Determine the mass per unit area of the geosyntheticaccording to Test Method D 5261.10. Calculation10.1 Unless otherwise specified, average the four readingsobtained from all the specimens cut parallel to the machinedirection. Do

26、 the same for those cut parallel to the cross-machine direction. In some cases it may be of interest todifferentiate between the sides of the geosynthetic by averagingthose readings made with the face side up separately fromthose with the reverse side up. If this is done, specify thedirection of ben

27、ding. Call these averages the “length ofoverhang,” and express them in centimetres. Calculate thebending length, c, in centimetres, and the flexural rigidity, G,inmg/cm by Eq 1 and 2:Bending length, c 5 0/2 (1)where Lo= the length of overhang, cm.Flexural rigidity, G 5 W 3 0/2!35 W 3 c3(2)where W =

28、weight per unit area, mg/cm2.NOTE 2To obtain the weight in mg/cm2, multiply ozlyd2by 3.39.Federal Specification CCC-T-191b gives flexural rigidity in in.-lb. Toconvert in.-lb to mg-cm, multiply by 1.15 3 106.11. Report11.1 Report to three significant figures the flexural rigidityof the machine direc

29、tion and cross-machine direction sepa-rately. If an overall average figure for the geosynthetic isrequired, calculate the geometric mean of these two values byEq 3:G 5 GMDGCD!1/2(3)where:Go= overall flexural rigidity,GMD= machine direction flexural rigidity, andGCD= cross-machine flexural rigidity.1

30、2. Precision and Bias12.1 Lack of well-defined units of stiffness makes it impos-sible to give a reliable estimate of the bias of this test method.It has been shown to give excellent correlation with a purelysubjective evaluation obtained by feeling samples for severalranges of geosynthetics of wide

31、ly differing stiffness; however,it is to be expected that inversions may exist in such acomparison. It has been found that differences in flexuralrigidity of about 10 % can just be detected subjectively, andthat this is about the limit of reliability of stiffness test results.It also has been found

32、that results obtained by differentoperators in different laboratories are as reproducible as thoseobtained by different operators within one laboratory. Theinherent stiffness of a geosynthetic may change dependingtemperature (or moisture-content if a biodegradable componentis present.)D 6575 00 (200
