To calculate the long-term allowable strength of geosynthetic reinforcement, replacement method was recommended. In isochronous curve at given time, we can read the allowable strength at allowable creep strain. The allowable strain gets from specification by directors or manufacturers according to the allowable displacement of reinforced structures. The allowable strength can be determined in relation to the allowable horizontal displacement each structures case by case. The effect of installation damage on isochronous behaviors of geosynthetic reinforcement was little. From the analytical consideration, the strain compatibility was recommended to determine long-term allowable strength of geosynthetic reinforcements considering tensile deformation between reinforcement and soil.
