Please v arth Technologies,ina at 800.8367271 for assistance The structural geogrid shall be an intogrally-formed grid structure manufactured of a stress resistant high dens' ty al with molecular weight and molecular characterlsYcics which impart:(a)high resistance to loss of load capacity or struct ural i�eg�when the geogrid is subjected to mechanical stress in installation;(b)high resistance to deformation when the geogrid is subjected to applied force in use;and(c)high resistance to loss of load capacity or structural integrity when the geogrid is subjected to long-term environmental stress. i The structural geogrid shall accept applied force in use by positive mechanical interlock(i.e.by direct mechanical keying)with:(a) compacted soil or construction fill materials;(b)contiguous sections of itself when overlapped and embedded in compacted sol or construction fill materials;and(c)rigid mechanical connectors such as bodkins,pins or hooks.The structural geogrid shall possess sufficient cross sectional profile to present a substantial abutment interface to compacted soil or particulate construction fill materials and to resist movement relative to such materials when subject to applied force. The structural geogrid shall possess sufficient true initial modulus to cause applied force to be transferred to the geogrid at low strain levels without material deformation of the reinforced structure. The structural geogrid shall possess complete continuity of all properties _ cothroughout its structure and shalt be suitable for reinforcement of compacted soil or particulate construction fill materials to improve their long term stability in structural load bearing applications such as earth retention systems. The structural geogrid shall otherwise have the following characteristics: Product Type: Integrally Formed Structural Geogrid Load Transfer Mechanism: Positive Mechanical Interlock Product Properties Load Capacity Units MD Values' • True Initial Modulus in Use2 kN/mQb/ft) 800(54,830) Tensile Strength Q5%Strain 800 23(1,570) • Ultimate Tensile Strength2 kN/mQb/ft) 46(3,150) • Long-Term Allowable Load in Sands,Silts&Ctay3 Wmpb/ft) 17.7(1,210) • Long-Term Allowable Load in Well Graded Sandi WlmQb/ft) 17.2(1,180) • Long-Term Allowable Load in A regate3 kN/m Ib/ft � ( ) 16.9(1,160) _0 integrity of Product Structure • Junction Strength i kN/mQb/ft) 43(2,950) • Flexural Stiffnesss X1000 mg-cm 400 Durability • Resistance to Installation Damagee %SC/%SW/%GP 95/92/90 • Resistance to Long Term Degradation % 100 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. Atypical truckload quantity is 324 rolls. On special request the structural geogrid may also be custom cut to specific lengths or widths to suit site specific engineering designs. Notes 1.Unless indicated otherwise,values shown are minimum average roll values determined in accordance with ASTM 0.4759. 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. s 2.True resistance to elongation when initially subjected to a bad measured via ASTM D6637 without deforming test materials under bad before measuring such resistance or em"'?s cant•or"offset•tangent methods of measurement so as to overstate tensile properties. 3.True strength available for resisting f0ce in long-tern bad bearing apprK.-W ns is determined by reducing ultimate tensile strength by state-of- practice factors for installation damag@,degradation in use,product integrity limitations and king-term product deformation per GRl-GGA. 4.Load transfer capability measured via GRI-GG2-87. 5.Resistance to bending force measured via ASTM D-5732-95,using specimen dimensions of 864 millimeters in length by 1 aperture in width. 6.Resistance to loss of load capacity or Structural integrity when subjected to mechanical installation stress in clayey sand(SC),well graded sand (SIM.and crushed stone classified as ipoorly graded gravel(GP).The material shall be sampled in accordance with ASTM D5818 and bad capacity measured in accordance with ASTM 06637. 7.Resistance to loss of load capacity or structural integrity when subjected to chemically aggressive environments measured via EPA 9090 immersion testing.
