Scope
This Standard specifies a method for determining the tensile creep and creep rupture behaviour of geotextiles and geotextile-related products in an unconfined situation.
Application of this standard is limited to those products and applications where the risk of collapse of a structure due to premature failure or to strain/time variation of the reinforcement under constant load is of essential importance.
As the test is carried out over a long period of time and the procedure is complex, it is therefore recommended that the test is not considered to be a routine quality control test. The results of the test may not be representative of the performance of the products when subject to soil pressures.
