    1) MARV (Minimum Average Roll Value) is a statistical definition of the minimum tensile strength that can be expected for a given geosynthetic material, set at a confidence level of 95-97.5%. 2) MARV is based on testing average roll values from a production lot and calculating the mean strength minus two standard deviations. 3) Published MARV values may be higher than actual MARV to reflect a manufacturer's confidence in product quality and consistency. Project MARV can be modified from published values for specific applications with additional testing.

    TULT = tensile strength of the geosynthetic based on MARV


    RFCR = reduction factor for creep
    RFID = reduction factor for installation damage
    RFD = reduction factor for durability (aging )

    Define Tult

    • MARV is intended to reflect 95% confidence in the measured values.


    • Since we are not concerned with the upper values, we are confident to
    97.5% that we deliver material to your site that will meet MARV
    • In other words, we are allowed to get it wrong 2.5 out of 100

    MARV (Minimum Average Roll Value)


    • Getting it wrong 2.5 out of 100 times is unacceptable from a Designer’s point of view

    Summary

    ACTUAL MARV (Minimum Average Roll Value)


    • Defined statistically, based on a large population of data
    • True reflection on the capabilities of the manufacturer

    PUBLISHED MARV (Minimum Average Roll Value)


    • Published MARV values are different
    • Reflect the manufacturer’s confidence in their product
    • Consistency
    • Quality

    PROJECT MARV (Minimum Average Roll Value)


    • Allows for slight modifications to published MARV (for specific projects)
    • Backed up with testing
