THE EFFECT OF STRAIN RATE AND VARIOUS STRESS-STRAIN HISTORIES ON THE TENSILE STRENGTH OF GEOSYNTHETICS

The results of tensile tests of five different geosynthetics are presented. The influence of strain rate on their stress-strain characteristics was investigated. The specimens of geosynthetics were stretched with different strain rate which varied from 0.2 x 10 power -3 l/s (1.2%/min) to 200 x 10 power -3 l/s (1200%/min). The different loading histories were applied before particular specimens' failures - special attention was put on the influence of short periods of creep and stress relaxation on the tensile strength of geosynthetics.
