WHO IS DOING THE TESTING?

VENEER STABILITY

Q: This question relates to the number of
rolls to be selected as the lot sample for
specification conformance testing and refers
to ASTM D4354. When I look at this standard,
it appears the values in Table 1 of GRI's White
Paper #10 refer to the number of units to
be selected as lot sample or manufacturing
quality control (MQC), in Table 1 of D4354.
Please, will you clarify which figures I
should use? If 200 rolls of a geosynthetic are
supplied to a site, should one or six rolls be
tested for field specification conformance?

Q: Good afternoon. I was looking to see if
you will still provide the veneer stability
spreadsheet as talked about in the GRI White
Paper #11, or if GRI has a more up-to-date
spreadsheet/calculation. Thanks.

A: The answer to your question depends
on who is doing the testing. If you are the
manufacturer and performing MQC at the
factory, you need to test six rolls of the lot
of 200; i.e., Table 1 of ASTM D4354. If you
are the construction quality assurance
(CQA) technician on-site where the rolls
have been delivered and are performing
conformance testing at a third-party lab,
you need to test one roll of the lot of 200;
i.e., Table 3 of ASTM D4354.

A: First of all, you mentioned GRI White
Paper #11, which has to do with various
interpretations of the shear strength
parameters friction and cohesion. That white
paper stands alone and we have nothing
further on that subject other than the various
interpretations stated therein.
Your email also speaks about our veneer
stability spreadsheet, which has associated
with it a number of computational options.
Those options follow directly the attached
paper titled "Analysis and Design of Veneer
Cover Soils." The paper and the spreadsheet
are coordinated with one another for each
of the options that are analyzed. It's selfexplanatory, but give a call if you want
further clarification.
