Abstract
The impact damage resistance characteristics of geosynthetics used as soil reinforcements are affected by embankment fills and compaction strengths. When on-site generated soils that can contain large rocks, such as tunnel muck, and large-scale rollers are used to induce sustainable and efficient construction projects, the geosynthetics may be severely damaged because their material safety factors are defined using standard fills and rollers. Since long-term damage resistance characteristics of severely damaged geosynthetics are still unknown, a creep test was conducted to determine the effect of the severe damages.
