connector tensile strength

Connector Tensile Strength = 458 lbf/in

Invisible Structures has recently tested the structural integrity of our snap-fit connectors feature found on the Gravelpave2, Grasspave2, Draincore2 and Slopetame2 products.  One full snap feature was placed in a Grab Tensile test machine and tested to the testing standard ASTM D638 Modified.  Pulled at 2 in/min, the material only deformed, it never fractured. The Tensile Yield Strength was determined to be 458 lbf/in.  The connection between two panels of our rolled products is robust enough for all installed conditions. Download the test results.

Ohio State's RPAC Grass Fire lane

Ohio State University's massive Recreation and Physical Activities Center (RPAC) uses Grasspave2 porous paving as a fire lane surrounding the facility. The modern architectural design is enhanced by the lush and well kept grass fire lane. Read and view more photos of the RPAC project, here.

Sand Availability

For our Grasspave2 porous paving, we prefer a clean sharp sand (washed concrete sand- AASHTO M6 or ASTM C-33) to fill the 25 mm (one inch) high rings and spaces between the rings. Major home centers and hardware stores have Quickcrete® All Purpose sand that meets our specification. Read more about why to use sand, here.

Sand the best to fill porous paving
