Phone: (800) 836-7271 0www.tensarcorp.com Product Specification - r 9 Structural Geo rid UX1400HS Tensar Earth Technologies, Inc. reserves the right to change its product specifications at any time. It is the responsibility of the specifier and purchaser to ensure that product specifications used for design and procurement purposes are current and consistent with the products used in each instance. Please contact Tensar Earth Technologies, Inc. at 800.836-7271 for assistance Product Type: Integrally Formed Structural Geogrid Polymer: High Density Polyethylene Load Transfer Mechanism: Positive Mechanical Interlock Recommended Applications: Sierra System (Reinforced Slopes), Prism System (Embankments), Temporary Walls Product Properties Index Properties Units MD Values, ■ Tensile Strength @ 5% Strain kN/m (Ib/ft) 31 (2,130) • Ultimate Tensile Strength kN/m (Ib/ft) 70 (4,800) Junction Strength3 Flexural Stiffness4 Durability kN/m (Ib/ft) mg -cm 66 (4,520) 730,000 ■ Resistance to Long Term Degradations % 100 ■ Resistance to UV Degradations % 95 Load Capacity ■ Maximum Allowable (Design) Strength? kN/m (Ib/ft) 30.2 (2,070) Recommended Allowable Strength Reduction Factors' ® Minimum Reduction Factor for Installation Damage (RFID)e 1.05 ■ Minimum Reduction Factor for Creep (RFcR) 2.21 ■ Minimum Reduction Factor for Durability (RFD) 1.00 Dimensions and Delivery The structural geogrid shall be delivered to the jobsite in roll form with each roll individually identified and nominally measuring 1.33 meters (4.36 feet) in width and 76.2 meters (250.0 feet) in length. A typical truckload quantity is 432 rolls. Notes: 1. Unless indicated otherwise, values shown are minimum average roll values determined in accordance with ASTM D4759. Brief descriptions of test procedures are given in the following notes. Complete descriptions of test procedures are available on request from Tensar Earth Technologies, Inc. 2. True resistance to elongation when initially subjected to a load measured via ASTM D6637 without deforming test materials under load before measuring such resistance or employing "secant' or "offset' tangent methods of measurement so as to overstate tensile properties. 3. Load transfer capability determined in accordance with GRI-GG2-87. 4. Resistance to bending force determined in accordance with ASTM D5732-95, using specimen dimensions of 864 millimeters in length by one aperture in width. 5. Resistance to loss of load capacity or structural integrity when subjected to chemically aggressive environments in accordance with EPA 9090 immersion testing. 6. Resistance to loss of load capacity or structural integrity when subjected to 500 hours of ultraviolet light and aggressive weathering in accordance with ASTM D4355. 7. Reduction factors are used to calculate the geogrid strength available for resisting force in long-term load bearing applications. Allowable Strength (T.11.) is determined by reducing the ultimate tensile strength (Tun) by reduction factors for installation damage (RFID), creep (RFcR) and chemical/biological durability (RFD = RFcD•RFBD) per GRI-GG4 [Tell. = Tun/(RFID-RFcR•RFD)). Recommended minimum reduction factors are based on product -specific testing. Project specifications, standard public agency specifications and/or design code requirements may require higher reduction factors. It is the responsibility of the designer to ensure that appropriate reduction factors are applied. Contact Tensar Earth Technologies, Inc. for further recommendations. 8. Minimum value is based on Installation Damage Testing in Sand, Silt, and Clay soils. Coarser soils require increased RFIo values. ® Tensar Earth Technologies, Inc. warrants that at the time of delivery the geogrid furnished hereunder shall be of the quality and specification stated This product specification supersedes p p p herein. If the geogrid does not meet the specifications on this page and P p p sedes all prior specifications for the product described Tensar is notified prior to installation, Tensar will replace the geogrid at no above and is not applicable to any products shipped prior to August 1, 2005 cost to the customer.
