Expert Commentary
The definitive standard for Wide-Width Tensile Properties of Geotextiles. Unlike standard fabric tests, this requires a 200 mm (8 in.) wide specimen to better simulate the in-situ confinement of soil. The engineering challenge is the Grip Capacity. Because geotextiles are designed for massive structural loads in roadbeds, the forces often exceed 100kN. MTO provides specialized Wide-Width Roller Grips that utilize a capstan effect to prevent the fabric from necking or tearing at the jaw face. Our software calculates the Offset Modulus and Secant Modulus, which are the primary inputs for geotechnical stability analysis.
