Summary of Method5.1 A specimen of the TRM is slid in a direction parallel toits long dimension, so t

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 theplatform makes an angle of 41.5 with the horizontal.

Apparatus6.1 Stiffness Tester, having the following parts:6.1.1 Horizontal Platform, with a minimum area of 18 by12 in. (457.2 by 304.8 mm) and having a s

17、mooth low-friction,flat surface such as polished metal or plastic.Aleveling bubbleshall be incorporated in the platform, or be available forverification that the horizontal platform is level.6.1.2 Indicator, inclined at an angle of 41.5 below the planeof the platform surface.6.1.3 Weight, consisting

18、 of a metal bar not less than 4 by18 in. (101.6 by 457.2 mm) by about18 in. (3 mm) thick.6.1.4 Scale and Pointer, to measure the length of theoverhang.7. Conditioning7.1 For tests made as directed in 9.1 9.5, bring thespecimens to a moisture equilibrium in the atmosphere fortesting TRMs, that is a t

19、emperature of 70 6 4F (21 6 2C)and relative humidity of 60 6 10 %. See Practice D1776.8. 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

20、to thetransverse (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 direc

21、tiontests and 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. SeePractice D4354.NOTE 1Some TRMs are constructed from severa

22、l component mate-rials and sample 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 allcom

23、ponents together during sample 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

24、are at eye level. Adjustthe platform 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 leadin

25、g edges project beyond the edge 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

26、.9.4 Take four readings from each 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 D5261.10. Calculation10.1 Unless otherwise specified, average the four readingsobtained from all the specimens cut parall

27、el to the machinedirection. Do 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 don

28、e, specify thedirection of bending. 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 Lo/2 (1)where:Lo= length of overhang, cm.Flexural rigidity, G 5 W 3

29、 Lo/2!35 W 3 c3(2)where:W = weight per unit area, mg/cm2.NOTE 2To obtain the weight in mg/cm2, multiply oz/yd2by 3.39.Federal Specification CCC-T-191b gives flexural rigidity in in.-lb. Toconvert in.-lb to mg-cm, multiply by 1.15 106.11. Report11.1 Report the following information:11.2 Report to thr

30、ee significant figures the flexural rigidityof the machine direction 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:Go5 GMDGCD!1/2(3)where:Go= overall flexural rigidity,GMD= machine direct

31、ion flexural rigidity, andGCD= cross-machine flexural rigidity.12. 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 obtain

32、ed by feeling samples for severalranges of geosynthetics of widely 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, andD6575 142that this is about t

33、he limit of reliability of stiffness test results.It also has been found that results obtained by differentoperators in different laboratories are as reproducible as thoseobtained by different operators within one laboratory.
