The Tensile Strength of In-Situ Geotextile Joints

Abstract

In this paper, we discuss some factors affecting the strength of in-situ Geotextile joints. Some results of the tensile tests show that the tensile strength of Geotextile itself, the number of stitch lines, the type of seam and the number of tieing are the principal properties of the tensile strength of in-situ jointing systems on Geotextiles.
