BS EN ISO 10321:1996 is a British Standard (BS) that specifies a test method for determining the tensile strength and elongation at break of joints or seams in geotextiles using the wide-width method. Geotextiles are materials used in civil engineering applications, such as road construction, to provide reinforcement, filtration, separation, or drainage.
The standard provides guidelines for testing the strength and performance of seams or joints in geotextiles, which are important to ensure the integrity and durability of geotextile materials when used in various construction projects.
Some key points and objectives covered by BS EN ISO 10321:1996 include:
The standard outlines the scope of the test method, which is specifically designed for geotextiles and geotextile-related products.
Test Apparatus: It describes the equipment and apparatus required for conducting the wide-width tensile test on geotextile seams or joints.
Sample Preparation: The standard provides instructions on how to prepare the samples for testing, including the dimensions and orientation of the test specimens.
Testing Procedure: BS EN ISO 10321:1996 outlines the step-by-step procedure for conducting the wide-width tensile test. This involves subjecting the specimen to a controlled force until it breaks while measuring the force and elongation at break.
Calculation of Results: The standard specifies how to calculate the tensile strength and elongation at break based on the test data obtained.
Reporting: It provides guidelines for reporting the test results, including the format and content of the test report.
