4 Principle
A specimen is held across its entire width in a set of clamps or jaws (see Figure 3) of a tensile testing
machine operated at a constant rate of strain, and a longitudinal force is applied to the specimen until
the specimen ruptures. The type of jaws is selected according to the type and tensile strength of the
tested product: compressive hydraulic jaws (Fig. 3 a, c, d) and capstan grips (fig. 3 b, e, f) may be used.
For capstan grips it could be useful to wind the specimen in a “S-shape” scheme around the capstan
clamps or in a “B-shape” scheme, as shown in Fig. 3 f.
The tensile properties of the specimen are calculated from machine scales, dials, autographic recording
charts, or an interfaced computer. A constant test speed is selected so as to give a strain rate of
(20 ± 5) % per minute in the true gauge length of the specimen, except for products that exhibit a low
strain, i.e. less than or equal to 5 %. For these products, e.g. glass, the speed is reduced so that the
specimen breaks in 30 ± 5 s.
The basic distinction between the current method and other methods for measuring tensile properties
of products is the width of the specimen. In the current method, the width is greater than the length of
the specimen, as some geosynthetics have a tendency to contract (neck down) under tensile force in the
gauge length area (see fig. 3 c).
The greater width reduces the contraction effect of such products and provides a relationship closer to
the expected product behaviour in the field, as well as a standard for comparison of geosynthetics.
For information on strain, extension measurements are made by means of an extensometer, which
follows the movement of two reference points on the specimen. These reference points are situated

on the specimen symmetry axis, which is parallel to the applied tensile force, and are separated by
a distance of 60 mm (30 mm on each side of the specimen symmetry centre). This distance can be
adapted for some types of geosynthetics, like geogrid, in order to include at least one row of nodes or
internal junctions.
5 Apparatus and reagents
5.1 Tensile testing machine (constant rate of strain), complying with ISO 7500-1, Class 1 or better,
in which the rate of increase of specimen length is uniform with time, fitted with a set of clamps or jaws
which are sufficiently wide to hold the entire width of the specimen and equipped with appropriate
means to limit slippage or damage.
NOTE It is useful that one clamp is supported by a free swivel or universal joint to compensate for uneven
distribution of force across the specimen.
Compressive jaws or capstan grips should be selected according to the type and tensile strength of the
tested product.
It is essential to choose jaw faces that limit slippage of the specimen, especially in stronger geosynthetics.
Examples of jaws that have been found satisfactory are shown in Figure 3.
NOTE The type of selected clamp can affect the obtained results.
5.2 Extensometer, capable of measuring the distance between two reference points on the specimen
without any damage to the specimen or slippage, care being taken to ensure that the measurement
represents the true movement of the reference points.
NOTE Suitable extensometers are mechanical, optical, infrared or other types, all with an electrical output.
The extensometer shall be capable of measuring to an accuracy of ±2 % of the indicated reading. If
any irregularity of the stress-strain curve due to the extensometer is observed, this result shall be
discarded and another specimen shall be tested.
5.3 Distilled water, for wet specimens only, complying with Grade 3 of ISO 3696.
5.4 Non-ionic wetting agent, for wet specimens only.
The wetting agent used shall be a general purpose polyoxyethylene glycol alkyl ether at 0,05 % volume.

Figure 3 — Examples of jaws for tensile testing of geosynthetics - Test specimens
5.5 Number of test specimens
Cut a minimum of five test specimens in both machine direction (MD) and cross machine direction
(CMD).
5.6 Sampling and preparation of test specimens
Sample and prepare the test specimens in accordance with ISO 9862.
5.7 Dimensions
5.7.1 Nonwoven geotextiles, knitted geotextiles, geonets, geomats, clay geosynthetic barriers,
geocomposite drains, geospacers, geoblankets, and other products wider than 200 mm and
without an open structure
Prepare each finished test specimen to a nominal 200 mm ± 1 mm width and of sufficient length to
ensure 100 mm between the jaws, with the length dimension being designated and parallel to the
direction in which the tensile force is applied. For some materials, the use of a cutting knife or scissors
can affect the structure. In such cases, thermal cutting or other techniques can be used, and this shall
be reported in the test report (see Clause 10). Where appropriate and for monitoring any slippage, draw
two lines at the edge of jaws running the full width of the test specimen jaw faces, perpendicular to the
length dimension and separated by 100 mm [except for capstan grips — see Figure 3b)].
5.7.2 Woven geotextiles
For woven geotextiles, cut each specimen approximately 220 mm wide and then make fringes by
removing an equal number of threads from each side to obtain the 200 mm ± 1 mm nominal specimen
width.
This helps to maintain the specimen integrity during the test. When the specimen integrity is not
affected, the specimens can be initially cut to the finished width.
5.7.3 Geogrids with one axis
For geogrids with tensile elements along one axis, the tensile test is carried out only in the direction of
the tensile elements, either MD or CMD; prepare each specimen at least 200 mm wide and sufficiently
long to ensure at least 100 mm between the jaws. Cut all ribs at least 10 mm from any node. Where
the nodes are not separated by at least 10 mm, the specimens should be prepared two ribs wider than
required for the test and, after clamping in the jaws, the outer rib on each side of the specimen should
be severed. The test result (strength) shall be based on the unit of width associated with the number of
intact ribs. The test specimen shall contain at least one row of nodes or cross-members, excluding the
nodes of cross-members held in the jaws (see Figure 4). Products of pitch [i.e. the distance between the
start of one rib (tensile element) and the start of the next rib] less than 75 mm shall contain at least four
complete tensile elements (ribs) in the width direction. Products of pitch greater than 75 mm and less
than 120 mm shall contain at least two complete tensile elements in the width direction. For products
of pitch greater than 120 mm, single ribs may be tested.
The reference points for the extensometer shall be marked on a central row of tensile elements that will
be subjected to testing and shall be at least 60 mm apart. The reference points shall be marked at the
centre point of a rib and shall be separated by at least one node or cross-member. Where necessary, the
two reference points may be separated by more than one row of nodes or cross-members, in order to

achieve the minimum separation of 60 mm apart. In this case, the requirement to mark the reference
points at mid-rib shall be maintained and the gauge length shall then be an integral number of pitches
of the grid. Measure the nominal gauge length to an accuracy of ±1 mm.
5.7.4 Geogrids with two axes and four axes
For geogrids with tensile elements along two or four axes, the tensile test is carried out in both
directions MD and CMD; prepare each specimen at least 200 mm wide and sufficiently long to ensure
at least 100 mm between the jaws. Cut all ribs at least 10 mm from any node. The test specimen shall
contain at least one row of nodes or cross-members, excluding the nodes of cross-members held in the
jaws (see Figure 5 and Figure 8).
Products of pitch less than 75 mm shall contain at least four complete tensile elements (ribs) in the
width direction. Products of pitch greater than 75 mm and less than 120 mm shall contain at least two
complete tensile elements in the width direction. For products of pitch greater than 120 mm, single ribs
may be tested.
The reference points for the extensometer shall be marked on a central row of tensile elements that
will be subjected to testing and shall be at least 60 mm apart. The reference points shall be marked at
the centre point of a rib and shall be separated by at least one node or cross-member. Where necessary,
the two reference points may be separated by more than one row of nodes or cross-members, in order
to achieve the minimum separation of 60 mm apart. In this case, mark the reference points at mid-rib
or on nodes and the gauge length shall then be an integral number of pitches of the grid. Measure the
nominal gauge length to an accuracy of ±1 mm.
5.7.5 Geogrids with three axes
For geogrids with tensile elements along three axes the tensile test is carried out in both directions MD
and CMD, but not in diagonal directions; prepare each specimen at least 200 mm wide and sufficiently
long to ensure at least 100 mm between the jaws. The specimens are cut and the width of the specimen
is measured as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7.
The reference points for the extensometer shall be marked at the centre point of a node and shall
be separated by at least one node or cross-member. Where necessary, the two reference points may
be separated by more than one row of nodes or cross-members, in order to achieve the minimum
separation of 60 mm apart. In this case, the requirement to mark the reference points at mid-rib shall
be maintained and the gauge length shall then be an integral number of pitches of the grid. Measure the
nominal gauge length to an accuracy of ±1 mm.
