Brief descriptions <br /> of test procedures are given in the following notes. <br /> 2.True resistance to elongation when initially subjected to a load measured via ASTM D6637-10 Method A without deforming test materials under <br /> load before measuring such resistance or employing"secant"or"offset"tangent methods of measurement so as to overstate tensile properties. <br /> 3.Load transfer capability determined in accordance with ASTM D7737-11. <br /> 4.Resistance to bending force determined in accordance with ASTM D7748-12,using one meter(minimum)long specimen. <br /> 5.Resistance to loss of load capacity or structural integrity when subjected to chemically aggressive environments in accordance with EPA 9090 <br /> immersion testing. <br /> 6.Resistance to loss of load capacity or structural integrity when subjected to 500 hours of ultraviolet light and aggressive weathering in <br /> accordance with ASTM D4355-05. <br /> • 7.Reduction factors are used to calculate the geogrid strength available for resisting force in long-term load bearing applications.Allowable <br /> Strength(Tallow)is determined by reducing the ultimate tensile strength(Tali)by reduction factors for installation damage(RFI0),creep(RFcR)and <br /> chemical/biological durability(RFD=RFco•RFBo)per GRI-GG4-05[Tam(=Tuli/(RFID•RFcR•RFD)j.Recommended minimum reduction factors are <br /> based on product-specific testing.Project specifications,standard public agency specifications and/or design code requirements may require <br /> higher reduction factors.Design of the structure in which the geogrid is used,including the selection of appropriate reduction factors and design <br /> life,is the responsibility of the outside licensed professional engineer providing the sealed drawings for the project. <br /> 8.Minimum value is based on Installation Damage Testing in Sand,Silt,and Clay soils. Coarser soils require increased RFID values. <br /> 9.Reduction Factor for Creep determined for 120-year design life and in-soil temperature of 20°C using standard extrapolation techniques to creep <br /> rupture data obtained following the test procedure in ASTM D5262-04.Actual design life of the completed structure may differ. <br /> Tensar International Corporation warrants that at the time of delivery the geogrid This product specification supersedes all prior specifications for the product described <br /> furnished hereunder shall conform to the specification stated herein. Any other above and is not applicable to any products shipped prior to February 1,2013. <br /> warranty including merchantability and fitness fora particular purpose,are hereby <br /> excluded.If the geogrid does not meet the specifications on this page and Tensar <br /> is notified prior to installation,Tensar will replace the geogrid at no cost to the <br /> customer. <br />
