Abstract
This paper discusses development and fabrication of an experimental device for assessing geosynthetic behavior under confined or unconfined conditions in uniaxial, biaxial, or axisymetric tension. The device is capable of performing both monotonic and cyclic tests over a range of strain rates (creep to near-blast rates) and under loading conditions that closely replicate those experienced over a variety of in-service conditions. The design concept is described and details of the experimental device are presented.
