Abstract

New procedure for evaluation of creep reduction factor using performance limit strain concept was introduced and confirmed through the creep test results. To determine the performance limit strain of the textile geogrid used in this study, the Sherby-Dorm Plots were applied and the results were compared with the results that applied existed limit strain criteria (GRI test method GG-4). The limit creep strain of the geogrid samples that determined by using the Sherby-Dorm Plots were all 11%. This value is more higher than the existed criteria as 10%. From this 11% limit strain the creep reduction factors were calculated at 100,000 hours design. It was resulted in 1.45 for all of the geogrid samples(8t/m, 10t/m). Finally, when it was compared with the creep reduction factors that using 10% criteria, there were some decrease of reduction factor values about $0.06{\sim}0.14$.
