Standard Test Method for Time-Dependent (Creep) Deformation Under Constant Pressure for Geosynthetic Drainage Products
1.1 This test method is used to determine the unconfined compressive creep characteristics of drainage geotextiles, geocomposites, geonets, or any other geosynthetic associated with drainage at a constant temperature, when subjected to a constant compressive stress.
1.2 This test method is intended for use as an unconfined compressive performance creep test only. For a detailed procedure on how to establish an index test see the EN standard 1897. For performance tests, the specimen shall be subjected to the site-specific liquid and/or the site-specific stress (normal and potentially shear stress).
1.3 Because of the changing nature of the geosynthetic industry, and the wide variety of products already available, this particular test method may have to be slightly modified for unconfined compression creep testing of some products..
1.4 The values given in SI units are to be considered as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
