1、Designation:D4884/D4884M22Standard Test Method forStrength of Sewn or Bonded Seams of Geotextiles1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4884/D4884M;the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revis
2、ion.A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the factoryand field seam strength of geotextiles,using a wide specimenand wet and dry s
3、pecimens.1.2 The long-term performance of a seaming technique isnot addressed by this test method.This test method willprovide data to indicate the short-term seam strength that canbe achieved for each particular geotextile and seam assemblyconstruction.To assess the long-term performance of a seam-
4、ing technique,it is possible to use Practice D6389,using thistest method to determine the anticipated strength reduction inthe initial,short-term wide-width tensile strength(Test MethodD4595)results.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard
5、.The values stated ineach system are not necessarily exact equivalents;therefore,toensure conformance with the standard,each system shall beused independently of the other,and values from the twosystems shall not be combined.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if
6、any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.5 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with international
