Standard Test Method for Vertical Compression of Geocomposite Pavement Panel Drains

Importancia y uso:

5.1 The vertical compression test for geocomposite pavement panel drains is intended to simulate vertical, horizontal, and eccentric loading resulting from an applied vertical load. The results of the analyses, including vertical strain of the panels and core area change, may be used as an index test. The vertical compression test may be used to evaluate core area change for a given load.

5.2 The vertical compression test may be used to evaluate percent vertical strain for a given load.

5.3 This test method may be modified to evaluate core area change and vertical strain under various backfill conditions.
