초록
New procedure for the 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-Dorn Plots were applied and the results were compared with the results that applied existed limit strain criteria (GRI test method GG-4). The creep-limited strain of the geogrid samples that was deter-mined by using the Sherby-Dorm Plots was all 11%. This value is higher than the existing creep-limited stran value of 10%. From this 11% limit strain, the creep reduction factors were calculated at 100,000 hours design. It resulted in 1.45 for all of the geogrid samples (8 t/m, 10 t/m). Finally, when it was compared with the creep reduction factors using 10% criteria, there was slight decrease in reduction factor values of about $0.06{\sim}0.14$.
