    The document provides product specifications for a structural geogrid called BX1200. It is made of stress-resistant polypropylene that maintains its load capacity and integrity when subjected to mechanical and environmental stresses. It reinforces soils and fills through positive mechanical interlocking and has sufficient stiffness and strength properties to transfer loads at low strain levels without deformation. Key properties and test results that ensure durability and structural integrity are described. The geogrid is supplied in rolls measuring 3 or 4 meters wide and 50 meters long.

    Product Specification - Structural Geogrid BX1200

    The structural geogrid shall be an integrally formed grid structure manufactured of a stress resistant polypropylene material with molecular weight and
    molecular characteristics which impart: (a) high resistance to loss of load capacity or structural integrity when the geogrid is subjected to mechanical
    stress in installation; (b) high resistance to deformation when the geogrid is subjected to applied force in use; and (c) high resistance to loss of load
    capacity or structural integrity when the geogrid is subjected to long-term environmental stress.
    The structural geogrid shall accept applied force in use by positive mechanical interlock (i.e. by direct mechanical keying) with: (a) compacted soil or
    construction fill materials; (b) contiguous sections of itself when overlapped and embedded in compacted soil or construction fill materials; and (c) rigid
    mechanical connectors such as bodkins, pins or hooks. The structural geogrid shall possess sufficient cross sectional profile to present a substantial
    abutment interface to compacted soil or particulate construction fill materials and to resist movement relative to such materials when subject to applied
    force. The structural geogrid shall possess sufficient true initial modulus to cause applied force to be transferred to the geogrid at low strain levels
    without material deformation of the reinforced structure. The structural geogrid shall possess complete continuity of all properties throughout its structure
    and shall be suitable for reinforcement of compacted soil or particulate construction fill materials to improve their long term stability in structural load
    bearing applications such as earth retention systems. The structural geogrid shall otherwise have the following characteristics:
    Product Type: Integrally Formed Structural Geogrid
    Load Transfer Mechanism: Positive Mechanical Interlock

    Dimensions and Delivery


    The structural geogrid shall be delivered to the jobsite in roll form with each roll individually identified and nominally measuring 3.0 meters (9.8 feet)
    or 4.0 meters (13.1 feet) in width and 50.0 meters (164 feet) in length. A typical truckload quantity is 165 to 220 rolls. On special request, the
    structural geogrid may also be custom cut to specific lengths or widths to suit site specific engineering designs.
    Notes
    1. Unless indicated otherwise, values shown are minimum average roll values determined in accordance with ASTM D-4759. Brief descriptions of
    test procedures are given in the following notes. Complete descriptions of test procedures are available on request from Tensar Earth
    Technologies, Inc.
    2. Nominal Dimensions.
    3. True resistance to elongation when initially subjected to a load measured via ASTM D6637 without deforming test materials under load before
    measuring such resistance or employing "secant" or "offset" tangent methods of measurement so as to overstate tensile properties.
    4. Load transfer capability measured via GRI-GG2-87. Expressed as a percentage of ultimate tensile strength.
    5. Resistance to bending force measured via ASTM D-5732-95, using specimens of width two ribs wide, with transverse ribs cut flush with exterior
    edges of longitudinal ribs (as a “ladder”), and of length sufficiently long to enable measurement of the overhang dimension. The overall Flexural
    Stiffness is calculated as the square root of the product of machine-and cross-machine-direction Flexural Stiffness values.
    6. Resistance to in-plane rotational movement measured by applying a 20 kg-cm moment to the central junction of a 9 inch x 9 inch specimen
    restrained at its perimeter (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Methodology for measurement of Torsional Rigidity).
    7. Resistance to loss of load capacity or structural integrity when subjected to mechanical installation stress in clayey sand (SC), well graded sand
    (SW), and crushed stone classified as poorly graded gravel (GP). The geogrid shall be sampled in accordance with ASTM D5818 and load
    capacity shall be measured in accordance with ASTM D6637.
    8. Resistance to loss of load capacity or structural integrity when subjected to chemically aggressive environments measured via EPA 9090
    immersion testing.
