..., the methods proposed by Faure ( 1988 ) and Elsharief and Lovell ( 1996 ) outperformed that of Silveira ( 1965 ). The available empirical retention criteria demonstrated satisfactory reliability and conservatism in evaluating the retention capacity of nonwoven geotextile filters. Corresponding author E.M...

...C. X. Du; C. Xu; J. F. Wang; Y. Yang; C. X. Zhao; Q. M. Wang Nonwoven geotextiles are commonly utilized as filter materials in drainage and filtration engineering. This study focuses on the clogging phenomenon of the nonwoven geotextile filter wrapping the blind drain in the active anti-floating...

...A. Markiewicz; M. Kiraga; E. Koda During the past four decades the use of nonwoven geotextiles as filter materials in geotechnical works has experienced a marked increase. In this study, the water permeability coefficient of nonwoven geotextiles after 23 years of exploitation in drainage system...

...) on the hydraulic compatibility of fine tailings–nonwoven geotextile filter, a series of gradient ratio (GR) tests were performed in this study. To reduce the physical clogging and enhance the drainage capability of nonwoven geotextiles, a layer of sand filter was placed between the tailings and the nonwoven...

...U. R. Albino; F. H. M. Portelinha; M. M. Futai This paper presents a numerical method for considering soil-atmosphere interaction applied to infiltration into an unsaturated geosynthetic reinforced soil wall and its effect on wall stability. A hypothetical nonwoven geotextile reinforced soil wall...

...R. A. e Silva; R. G. Negri; D. de Mattos Vidal The use of digital images to evaluate geotextile characteristics has appeared in the scientific literature, particularly for estimating the pore size distribution (PSD) of nonwoven geotextiles used for filtration purposes. While numerous image analysis...

... on the geotextile layer. This paper investigates the dependency of the geotextile pore size distribution curve on confinement, and addresses the accuracy and calibration of two well-known methods for the estimate of pore dimensions. Five nonwoven geotextiles, made of polyester, were tested in Bubble Point test...

...H.-Y. Jeon; A. Bouazza The surface of nonwoven geotextiles was modified by plasma treatment to improve their strength performance. Plasma treatment was applied to polyvinyl alcohol needle-punched geotextiles, polypropylene needle-punched geotextiles, and polyester spun-bonded geotextiles...
