ENV 1897:1996

ENV 1897:1996 is a standardization document published by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). Its full title is "Geotextiles and geotextiles related products - Determination of the compressive creep properties". This standard covers: This Standard describes methods for determining the compressive creep behaviour of geotexiles and geotextile-related products by measurement of the rate of change of thickness with respect to time. The test specimens can be subjected either to normal compressive loading or to a combination of normal compressive loading and shear loading. Products which are to be used for carrying water in the plane of the product and which are to be subsequently tested for this function, must be tested according to the procedure using a combination of normal and shear loading (see clause 6).
