State-of-the-art review of the creep behaviour of geotextiles

Geotextiles are the important and widely used constituent of the modern infrastructure for a variety of applications. Due to the characteristics of high strength, low cost, and easy to use, in infrastructure projects, geotextiles have gained widespread applications across the globe due to its many benefits and economics attached with it. One of the main design concerns for the long-term stability of geotextile reinforced structures in the infrastructure projects is the prediction of the creep behaviour of geotextiles under the design loads. In this paper, a brief introduction of geotextiles is initially given. Subsequently, the main findings of previous research publications on the creep behaviour influencing the long-term behaviour and performance of geotextiles are summarized in a comprehensive manner. This paper provides general insights that will help researchers gain a state-of-the-art review of geotextiles and trends for future research and development.
