This International Standard describes an index test method for determination of the tensile
properties of geotextiles and related products, using a wide-width strip. The method is
applicable to most geotextiles, including woven fabrics, nonwovens, geocomposites,
knitted fabrics and felts. The method is also applicable to geogrids, but specimen
dimensions may need to be altered.
This tensile test method covers the measurement of load elongation characteristics and
includes procedures for the calculation of secant stiffness, maximum load per unit width
and strain at maximum load. Singular points on the load-extension curve are also
indicated.
Procedures for measuring the tensile properties of both conditioned and wet specimens
are included.
