Scope:

1.1 This method is intended for use in determining the breaking load and elongation at rupture of both woven and non-woven geotextiles by the grab method.

 

1.2 The procedure is applicable to geotextiles either in the conditioned state or when wet.

 

1.3 The procedure is to be used with constant-rate-of-extension type tensile testing machines.
