Expert Commentary
The Trapezoid Tearing Strength of Geotextiles. This assesses the resistance of a fabric to the continuation of a tear. The trapezoidal shape focuses the stress on a specific point. The hardware requirement is High-Clamping Force pneumatic grips. MTO’s Geosynthetic package includes wide-face jaws (up to 100 mm) to ensure the fabric doesn’t slip during the high-force tear. This is a critical safety specification for fabrics used in road construction and landfill liners.
