... the mechanisms related to the damage, the influences of the dropping height and compaction method were investigated. Statistical analysis using the Student's t-distribution was carried out to validate the occurrence of damage and calculate reduction factors for geogrids’ tensile strengths. Results...

... was investigated using conventional creep and creep rupture tests. Reduction factors for installation damage, creep and their combined effect were computed. The main aim of the paper was to assess how the long-term response of the geosynthetics was influenced by installation damage and whether it would...
