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 strainhime 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.
Diese ÖNORM beschreibt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Zugkriecheigenschaften von Geotextilien und geotextilverwandten Produkten bei freier Querverformung. Der Einsatz des beschriebenen Verfahrens sollte auf jene Produkte und Anwendungen begrenzt werden, bei denen die Beziehung Verformung/Zeit von wesentlicher Bedeutung ist.
