This paper describes a new testing equipment developed to perform geogrid creep tests under confined load and in different temperatures simultaneously, and the confined load and temperature factors’ influence on the creep characteristics of geogrid was researched systemically , then the tests data was dealt by correlation analysis.The results shows that :the influence of confined load on geogrid creep is very significant, creep tests under no confined load will produce conservative results .The influence of confined load is weaker than the influence of temperature factor. The both two factors must be considered in geogrid creep tests .
