...F.A.N. França; B.S. Bueno ABSTRACT: The creep behavior of geosynthetics has commonly been determined using standardized creep tests, which are time consuming and very expensive. In addition, these tests involve the use of in-isolation specimens. Thus they are not likely to consider the overall...

... for determining long-term water flow capacity. For this purpose, it is necessary to produce data for creep behavior under compressive and shear stresses. The residual long-term thicknesses are extrapolated and the pressures determined that are necessary to enforce the residual thickness in a short-term experiment...
