Defines a method for determining the tensile creep and creep rupture behaviour of geotextile-related and geotextile products in an unconfined situation. Limited to those applications and products where the risk of collapse of a structure due to premature strain/time or to failure variation of the reinforcement under constant load is of essential importance. The test is not considered to be a routine quality control test.
