Table of Contents

Tensile strength is a characteristic of organic deposition and needs to be described to get a better understanding of the investigated soil. Tensile strength is divided into 4 categories described below.
Tensile strenght classes
Tensile strength class	Condition	Perception	
No strength	Fibres don't interlock	Samples with no strength doesn't give any resistance when pulled apart. The fibres are not present or to small to interlock.	
Low	Fibres interlock a little	Samples with a low strength have fibres that slide past each other without a lot of resistance. This happens with samples that have much small fibres and some bigger fibres.	
Moderately	Fibres interlock	Samples with a moderate strength give resistance when pulled apart. The fibres get caught in each other and form a mesh that supports the sample.	
High	Fibres interlock very much	Samples with high strength give much resistance when pulled apart. The fibres form a network or matt. When pulled apart the fibres snap or break.
