Multi-axial strain testing on geomembrane samples
Objective
To understand their response to out-of-plane tensile forces
Testing Undertaken
- Multi-axial strain testing
- ASTMD 5617
The objective of this study by ExcelPlas is to conduct multi-axial strain testing on geomembrane samples in order to understand their response to out-of-plane tensile forces due to differential settlement. This mechanical testing was followed in accordance to ASTM D 5617 standard.
