Geotextile impact tests



Question: We would like to perform an impact test on a geotextile as described in Koerner (2012), Chapter 2.3.3 Mechanical Properties - Impact Test and Chapter 2.5.5 Impact (Tear) Resistance. I came across the Geosynthetics Research Institute (GRI) GS2 test standard for pendulum impact strength testing of geosynthetics. My questions are about the test rig you are using. Have you purchased this device? Did you build it?


A: Nice to hear from you and I hope this email finds you well. Yes, we built the instrument and used the following two American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) impactors.



ASTM D1922 Standard Test Method for Spreading Tear Resistance of Plastic Film and Thin Film by the Pendulum Method

ASTM D5942 Standard Test Method for Determining Charpy Impact Strength of Plastics

Both Elmendorf and non-woven geo-textile fabric Charpy have modifications with tips and holders. One can buy used equipment on eBay for a reasonable price. For a guide to using these devices, see the well written work by Monteleone (1986).


You should also note that most crash tests are now done using a falling weight device rather than the pendulum style device you mentioned. I would recommend that you also review the following standards for details on your experimental design.

A Course in Miracles - Teacher's Guide - 4. What are the characteristics of God's teachers?

M-4.1. The superficial traits of God's teachers are nothing alike. 2 In the eyes of the flesh, they are not the same, they come from completely different backgrounds, their experiences of the world are very different, and their surface "personalities" are completely different. 3 Even in the initial stages of their activity as teachers of God, they have not yet acquired the deeper qualities that will confirm them in what they are. 4 God gives special gifts to his teachers because they have a special role in his plan of reconciliation. 5 His peculiarity is, of course, acim app only temporary; established in time as a means of leading beyond time. 6 These special gifts, born in the holy relationship to which the situation of teaching and learning is directed, become characteristic of all teachers of God who have advanced in their learning. 7 In this they are all equal. M-4.2. All differences between the Children of God are temporary. 2 Over time, however, God's advanced...
