Abstract

In this paper, multi-junction clamp was used for junction strength evaluation under 20, 50 and 100 mm/min of strain rate at ambient condition. One~eight rib specimens were gripped in the clamps and each gage length was 50 mm, 100 mm and 150 mm, respectively. Warp knitted and woven type geogrids were used to compare the effects of multi-junction clamping on junction and tensile strength, respectively. The results indicate that junction strength decreased while the number of junctions increased. When the strain rate was increased, junction strength of woven type increased, but there was no effect of strain rate on warp knitted type. The newly designed clamp test for geogrid junction strength in this research is more accurate than the single-junction test, considering the scale effect of specimens.
